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

Biology

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.

Nookie1986 [14]
In order to determine the percentage of kilocalories Sally obtains from carbohydrates, we require the number of kilocalories obtained from carbohydrates and the total kilocalories obtained. Then, we may use the formula:

Percentage from carbohydrates = (number from carbohydrates x 100) / total

Next, if the value obtained is between 45% and 65%, then it fits within the acceptable macronutrient distribution range.

Answer:

The area between 200 and 1,000 meters (656 and 3,280 feet) is the mesopelagic or “twilight” zone.

Explanation:

Light intensity in this zone is severely reduced with increasing depth, so light penetration is minimal. About 20 percent of primary production from the surface falls down to the mesopelagic zone.
