Subject: amoeboid motion and the change from sol form to gel form:

You know how Amoeboid motion requires the conversion of the cytoplasm from the 
sol form to a gel at the leading edge of the pseudopodium, and from gel to sol 
at the trailing edge of the cell, well how does this conversion occur and what 
are the mechansims involved in the conversion? i cannot understand most of the 
information i have found any help u could give would be great. Also, what is 
the reason for the contraction and expansion of the cytoplasm resulting in 
movement?
