What kind of ameoba is this? In biology my friend and I were (kind of) observing Protists and there were these green ones that were small and "slimed around" as my friend put it. They were probably volvox but we thought they were ameobas at the time. Why can you see the red in some various organelles in this ameoba but not the yellow in the cytoplasm? I think the largest ameoba recorded was about a centimeter, whoever said they could be as big as grapes.
if you place a large enough amount of them on a thin layer of water on some agar, you can make out the smaller ones if you know where to look, as you can see slight differances in the relcetivity and surface tension of the water on top of the agar.
Actually, poking it in the nucleus won't kill it right away (and might not kill it at all). To kill it quick, add alot of salt to the sample. It will lyse (all it's water will spew out rapidly along with its organelles).
A cell is not controlled by the nucleus. The nucleus produces devices that operate on causality, and those "control" the cell. After the nucleus is gone, the "devices" still work, but will break later. When that happens, the contents of the nucleus are required to replace them.
How can you poke something locally in the nucleus without some specialized instrument? I think the tip of a toothpick is bigger than that whole amoeba
Actually if you add a lot of salt only it's water will flow out due to osmoses, to kill it efectively put it in distilled water, if you do that the water (by osmoses again) will enter it's membrane and then it lyses just like a baloon =P
It was just visible as a small bright line, looked kind of like a scratch in the glass, but moving. No detail to the naked eye, but the amoeba itself was definitely visible.
thats a big amoeba! Imagine swimming and seeing that. I wonder what it eats? Can it eat small fish and bugs? it would be cool to see that without a microscope :)
They simply divide, and the two halves carry on with their individual lives(no pun intended).
FICTION
Even if there were male and female amoebas, the would most certainly have problems when it comes to sex. The male ones penis would be soo soft, that it couldn't impress the ladies, and ladies would have a very elastic vagina that would most certainly EAT the male specimen.:-)
I know the last part sounds funny, but I'd say such thing could happen, IF amoebas weren't genderless.
This is the coolest thing to watch, even though it looks like moving spit with half chewed sandwich in it. I think it was pimiento olive loaf on rye with pepper jack! Great job on this video, and all the other little critters you have posted! Really fun to watch!
There are many species of amoeba, and it's quite feasible for some types to approach 1mm in length. This one was visible to the naked eye on the microscope slide (where it was brightly lit) as a small white line, I'd estimate about 0.5mm or so long. Obviously no detail was visible, just the fact that something was there.
I used a webcam fitted with a 0.5x focal reducer and adapter (designed for astronomical use). I cobbled together an adapter using 35mm film cannisters which fits over the microscope tube, with the normal eyepiece removed.
I replace the eyepiece with a modified webcam which has had the lens removed, and replaced with an adapter that was meant for a telescope eyepiece. Some black tape, cardboard and 35mm film canisters make it a snug fit over the microscope eye tube!
@kentawan1 In lab I just put my regular cell phone or regular camera up to the microscope lens, aiming it just right and i get clear microscopic pics, even using 1000x (with immersion oil of course)

What happens if you stick something in it? Can it die?

Sure it can die. If you hit his nucleus he's 100% dead. Because the nucleus controles him.

It's the biggest part inside of him. You just can't see it that well because the other pieces of his body is stuck on it.

amoeboid locomotion...basically, extends it's psedopod, or arm, along with a small flow of protoplasm.

not that big. It's large enough to see by the naked eye probably, but not eat fish. No cell get's that big.

The Amoeba Dubia can grow up to 1mm in size, but not nearly large enough to eat things that large.

Amoebas reproduce asexually by binary fission, so there are no "male" and "female" cells.
