retikulopódiumok
Retikulopódiumok are slender, branching pseudopods produced by certain amoeboid protists, notably foraminiferans. These pseudopods extend from the organism's cell body and form a fine, net-like network, or reticulum, which gives them their name. The primary function of retikulopódium is to capture food particles, such as bacteria and algae, from the surrounding environment. They achieve this by trapping prey within the intricate meshwork of the pseudopods.
The retikulopódium are also crucial for locomotion. By extending and retracting these branching structures, the protist
The retikulopódium are highly dynamic and can be retracted or extended rapidly in response to stimuli. This
