Verified step by step guidance1
Understand the concept of pseudopodia: Pseudopodia are temporary, foot-like extensions of the cell membrane and cytoplasm used by some protists for movement and feeding.
Identify the eukaryotic supergroups: Eukaryotic organisms are classified into several supergroups, including Amoebozoa, Rhizaria, Chromalveolata, and Excavata.
Recognize the characteristics of Amoebozoa: Members of the Amoebozoa supergroup are known for their ability to move and feed using pseudopodia.
Differentiate between the supergroups: While Rhizaria, Chromalveolata, and Excavata have members with different modes of movement, Amoebozoa is specifically associated with pseudopodia.
Conclude that protists moving via pseudopodia are classified under the Amoebozoa supergroup, based on their distinctive movement mechanism.
