Question:
Filopodia are found in which of the following organisms?
Filopodia are found in which of the following organisms?
Show Hint
Filopodia = thread-like pseudopodia. Eughypha (a rhizopod protozoan) shows true filopodia.

Eughypha
Euglena
Amoeba
Elphidium
Hide Solution
Verified By Collegedunia
The Correct Option is A
Solution and Explanation
- Filopodia are thin, long, thread-like pseudopodia used for feeding and locomotion.
- These are found in testate amoeboids like {Eughypha}.
- {Euglena} moves using flagella — not pseudopodia.
- {Amoeba} uses broad lobopodia, not filopodia.
- {Elphidium} shows reticulopodia — a different type of pseudopodia.
