The movement of amoeba towards a source of food is an example of chemotaxis.

• In the presence of a chemical stimulus, a cell or a unicellular organism moves in the direction of the chemical stimulus
• This phenomenon is called chemotaxis
• Cells are able to sense changes in their environment such as changes in pH, temperature and the presence of chemicals
