(a)

Pseudopodia serves the purpose of locomotion apart from nutrition. 

(b) The salivary gland is associated with digestion of starch in human digestive tract. It secretes saliva which contains enzyme salivary amylase. This enzyme converts starch into maltose (sugar). 

(c) Gastric glands present on the walls of the stomach release HCl. HCl creates an acidic medium, which facilitates the action of enzyme pepsin. Bile juice from liver makes the food alkaline in small intestine for the pancreatic enzymes to act.
