What type of organisms did we observe in the lab from the Unikonta Supergroup?

The correct answer is Amoebozoa, which belongs to the Unikonta Supergroup. This group includes a diverse range of organisms characterized by their amoeboid movement, which is facilitated by the use of pseudopodia—extensions of the cytoplasm that allow the organism to move and engulf food particles. In the lab, you likely observed live specimens or cultures of organisms from this group, such as amoebas.

Amoebozoans play critical ecological roles in soil ecosystems and aquatic environments as decomposers and predators of bacteria and other small organisms. Their unique characteristics, such as the ability to change shape and form, are essential for their survival and functionality in their respective habitats. This versatility and adaptability exemplify the features you would have studied while exploring this group in your lab.
