Everything about Chaos Amoeba totally explained
}}
Chaos is a genus of giant
amoebae, varying from 1-5
mm in length. They are closely related to
Amoeba, and share the same general morphology, producing numerous cylindrical pseudopods. However,
Chaos have several hundred
nuclei, while
Amoeba only have one. The most notable species is
C. carolinensis; they've also been classified as
Pelomyxa, another giant
multinucleate amoeba, but they're not particularly similar.
Chaos feed on bacteria, fungi, other protists and multicellular rotifers. They are heterotrophs like all members of sarcodina, and obtain food energy by ingestion. They are mostly scavengers and are found on the bottom of freshwater habitats.
Chaos move by
pseudopodia. They don't have a hard cell wall. The cytoplasm is divided into the endoplasm which is fluid and contains the many nuclei, granules, and food vacuoles, and the ectoplasm which is more viscous and doesn't contain any granules.
