Q. The amoeboid movement results from

 2309  176 AMUAMU 2015Locomotion and Movement Report Error

Solution:

Amoeboid movement is the most common mode of locomotion in eukaryotic cells. Molecular mechanism involves participation of microdomain signalling. As, microdomains trigger and maintain active polymerisation of actin filaments, their propagation leads to interaction with myosin that generates retrograde flow. ATP is utilised in this process.
