Close to the sporocyst surface, two pseudopods (p) display a finely granular cytoplasm that is free of organelles.
The set was photographed from every angle and digitally recreated so that the pseudopod could be accurately composited into the live-action footage.
When the pseudopod moves outward, the rest of the body is pulled forward by cortical tension.
The amorphous column form is described as a one-eyed column resembling a roper or a half-burned brown candle, with eight pseudopods.
The fifth segment has a ventral pseudopod that helps to hold prey.
The pseudopods are used for locomotion, anchoring, and in capturing food, which consists of small organisms such as diatoms or bacteria.
The pseudopods meld at their bases when the organism is moving, and have dorsal, longitudinal ridges.
They vary considerably in form, but for the most part they are amoeboids with filose, reticulose, or microtubule-supported pseudopods.
