Abstract

The film describes organization, form change and movement behavior of the amoeba cell. With specific protein or ionic solutions the pinocytosis activity can be increased. Channel and endosome formation can be observed. In lightmicroscopic shots and scanning electron microscope images the process of phagocytosis is shown. Prey organisms are Tetrahymena, ciliated unicellular organisms.
