Question

Type of pseudopodia present in Euglypha

• A. Lobopodia
• B. Reticulopodia
• C. Filopodia
• D. Axopodia

Hint:

Filopodia are slender, threadlike extensions of the cytoplasm and are characteristic of *Euglypha*.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is C

The type of pseudopodia present in Euglypha is Filopodia. Filopodia are slender, tapering extensions of the cytoplasm and are used for locomotion and feeding. They are a common type of pseudopodium in various protists, including Euglypha.

Options:

Option	Explanation
(A) Lobopodia	These are blunt, lobelike extensions of the cell, typically found in amoeboid organisms. This is incorrect for Euglypha, as it has filopodia, not lobopodia.
(B) Reticulopodia	These are net-like, branched pseudopodia, typically found in organisms like foraminifera. This is incorrect for Euglypha, which does not have net-like pseudopodia.
(C) Filopodia	✅ Correct Answer: Euglypha has thin, thread-like filopodia.
(D) Axopodia	These are long, thin pseudopodia supported by microtubules, found in certain protists such as actinopods. This is incorrect for Euglypha, which lacks axopodia.

Thus, Option (C) is the correct answer.
