๐ฌ
amoebic
[ ษหmiหbษชk ]
biology context
Amoebic refers to anything related to or resembling an amoeba, which is a type of single-celled organism. These organisms are characterized by their flexible shape and ability to move by extending pseudopodia. Amoebic infections are often associated with waterborne diseases, particularly in tropical regions. The term can describe various conditions caused by amoebae, including amoebic dysentery. Understanding amoebic processes is crucial in microbiology and environmental studies.
Synonyms
amoeboid, protozoan, unicellular.
Examples of usage
- Amoebic dysentery can cause severe gastrointestinal distress.
- The study focused on amoebic life cycles.
- Some amoebic species can survive in extreme conditions.

Etymology
The term 'amoebic' is derived from the word 'amoeba', which comes from the Greek 'amoibฤ', meaning 'change' or 'alteration', reflecting the organism's fluid shape and movement. The usage of 'amoebic' in the biological sciences denotes the characteristics or phenomena associated with amoebae, which are simple, microscopic organisms found in various environments. The study of amoebae has been important in understanding cell biology, evolution, and the ecology of microorganisms. As scientific knowledge has advanced, the understanding of amoebic infections and their implications for human health has also evolved, leading to a greater emphasis on the need for water sanitation and hygiene in affected regions.
