Answer
(i) The organism shown in the given figure is Amoeba.
(ii) No, Amoeba is neither a plant nor an animal. Amoebas lack chlorophyll and the ability to photosynthesize, unlike plants. Animals have specialized tissues and organs, which amoebas lack. Hence, Amoeba don't fall under either category.
(iii) The guidelines 1 to 6 are:
1 → Food Vacuole
2 → Nucleus
3 → Pseudopodium
4 → Cell Membrane
5 → Cytoplasm
6 → Contractile Vacuole
(iv) Amoeba is a single-celled organism classified under the Kingdom Protista.
(v) Part 3 (Pseudopodium) — Pseudopodium is the organ of locomotion in an Amoeba. It helps amoeba move in the direction it wants to move in.
Part 6 (Contractile Vacuole) — Excess ammonia (waste) and water gets expelled out of the body of Amoeba from Contractile Vacuole.
