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.

Whats the difference between genotype and phenotype.

Olegator [25]

$\huge{\green}\fcolorbox{blue}{cyan}{\bf{\underline{\red{\color{red}Answer}}}}$

The genotype is a set of genes in the DNA which are responsible for the unique trait or characteristics.
Whereas the phenotype is the physical appearance or characteristic of the organism.
Thus, we can find the human genetic code with the help of their genotype.
Organisms may look the same but still may not have the same genotype.
One can determine the genotype by the biological tests.
On the other hand, the phenotype is determined by an individual’s genotype and can be expressed as genes or by the visible traits.
Such traits are hair color or type, eye color body shape, and height, and many such more.
It will depend on the genotype but also influenced by the factors existing in the surrounding.

As a mollusk the animal probably has

andrezito [222]

As a mollusc, the animal probably has a mantle and a radula.

Molluscs are aquatic species that belong to the phylum of Mollusca. Mollusca is one of the biggest and most diverse phyla of the sea.

A mantle is a term that describes the fold in their body which secretes the hard protective shell of their body. A radula is a toothed structure (similar to the tongue) used to collect food.
