The following points highlight the top ten theories to explain the locomotion in amoeba. 1. Adhesion Theory: According to this theory, locomotion in Amoeba is performed by adhesion similar to drop of water which spreads irregularly on uneven glass plate. The protoplasm flows, like the fluid of the drop, in the path of greater adhesion. Due to adhesive properties pseudopodia [...]
