If an amoeba engulfs a particle of food does it use energy?

Biology
1 answer:
vovangra [49]3 years ago
8 0

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.

ATP is synthesized by substrate-level phosphorylation during which of the following?
pav-90 [236]

Answer:

C. only glycolysis and the Krebs cycle

Explanation:

Conversion of 1,3-bisphosphoglycerate into 3-phosphoglycerate and conversion of phosphoenolpyruvate into pyruvate during glycolysis obtains a total of 4 ATP molecules per glucose (2 from each reaction). Here, ATP formation occurs by the transfer of the phosphoryl group from a substrate such as 1,3-bisphosphoglycerate. Therefore, it is called a substrate-level phosphorylation.  

Similarly, oxidative decarboxylation of alpha-ketoglutarate into succinyl CoA and conversion of succinyl CoA into succinate forms 2 ATP molecules per glucose during Kreb's cycle. Here, the energy for ATP synthesis is provided by oxidative decarboxylation of a substrate. Therefore, it is also substrate-level phosphorylation.

Name two types of evidence used to support the theory of evolution. Explain how scientists use each type of evidence to provide
TEA [102]
Evidence for evolution, in other words evidence of common descent, include fossils, which have shown a (fairly) steady change in morphology over time for some species. An example would be horse hooves: we have fossils that show when they were still three toed, then two toed, then one toe in our present day horses. Another piece of evidence is vestigial organs. An example of vestigial organs is wings in some flightless birds, such as the kiwi. Their ancestors used it in order to fly across the marine barrier into New Zealand, but natural selection and random genetic drift made them quickly lose the ability to fly. Nonetheless, they still have their wings, however small. It can be assumed that eventually, their wings would be reduced to small stubs fused to other nearby bones, as has been observed in their cousins.
