An amoeba might move using its cytoskeleton, because the single celled cell (or the amoeba) will be easier to move by itself and the cytoskeleton will push it so the cell can get where it needs to go in the body.

They use their flaglellum to paddle through the water. If there is no flaglellum (hair-like structures on the outside of the cell) then they use there vacoule to suck in water and move forward.

Hope it helps! xx
