Abstract

Summary. The morphology of pinocytosing Amoeba proteus induces by two monovalent cations: Na + and K + were examined at different calcium concentration. It was demonstrated that pinocytotic response of amoeba (number, size and shape of pinocytotic pseudopodia) was related to the amount of Ca 2+ accumulated on the cell surface.
