Answer:
Endocytosis is a form of active transport hence require enegry powered by ATP. The amoeba needs to change shape and engulf and envaginate the particle and then use vessicle transportation to get the materials into the cell. This requires that the cytoskeleton - composed of tubules and filaments - contracts and relax accordingly. This requires energy by ATPs just like the myosin and actin of muscle.
Phagocytosis, another form of endocytosis, is used by some cells such as immune cells to engulf foreign material and then destroy them by use of lysozymes. This is how phagocytes protect the body from invaders.
Answer:
The scarab or dung-beetle, and the spider to some ancient symbologists
A simple solution is basically two substances that are evenly mixed together, but the mixture is homogeneous. Meaning, you can no longer tell the two substances apart once they are mixed in solution.
This is because the solute dissolves in the solution.
A solute is the substance to be dissolved (sugar).
The solvent is the one doing the dissolving (water).
As a rule of thumb, there is usually more solvent than solute.The amount of solute that can be dissolved by the solvent is defined as solubility.
Answer:
A very short history of climate change research. The story of scientists discovering climate change is longer than many of us tend to imagine.
We’ve had a sense that what humans do might effect the climate since Antiquity.
Answer:
(1). symbiont
Explanation:
The bacterium inside the human intestine is a symbiont and the bacterium-human interaction is a symbiosis of the commensalistic type.
Commensalism is a biological interaction (symbiosis) in which members of one species -in this case the bacterium- gain benefits while those of the other species -in this case the human- neither benefit nor are harmed.
