Question
**Question 25**

Base your answers to the questions on the microscope image below:

*Image: Two irregularly shaped, translucent, amoeba-like organisms with pseudopodia extending outward.*

1. What structures allow this organism to move (and they help in eating too)?
   
2. What is the name of the process in which this organism eats?

3. True or false: This organism contains an organelle called a contractile vacuole.

### Explanation of Image:
The image shows amoeba-like organisms with pseudopodia. These pseudopodia are key for movement and capturing food. Amoebas typically use a process called phagocytosis to consume their food. The presence of a contractile vacuole is common in freshwater amoebas to help manage water balance.
