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.

Which is a characteristic of fast-­twitch muscle fibers?
dimulka [17.4K]

Answer:

The answer is C.

Explanation:

Due to fewer capillaries, mitochondria, myoglobin, and lower oxygen transport, type II- fast twitch muscle fibers are "fast" or quick to fatigue. With their short-term contractions, they also create greater force and strength.

A mistake happens during mitosis g where all of the mitochondria are pulled to one pole of the cell and none are pulled to the o
LuckyWell [14K]

Answer: Daughter cell that does not receive mitochondria, will not be able to produce the energy needed to carry out cell functions. The cell that receives all the mitochondria, will be able to carry out cellular respiration and thus produce energy.

Explanation:

The mitochondrion is a cellular organelle found in eukaryotic cells, and provides the energy needed to carry out cellular activity. They are characterized by their large size, compared to other cell organelles, and their globular shape. <u>Mitochondria generate most of the chemical energy needed to activate the biochemical reactions in the cell</u>,<u> through a process called cellular respiration</u>. It irefers to a set of biochemical reactions by which certain organic compounds are degraded by oxidation into inorganic substances. The chemical energy produced by mitochondria is stored in an energized molecule called adenosine triphosphate (ATP).

Then, if during cell division, one of the daughter cells does not receive mitochondria, it will not have the necessary organelles to carry out cell respiration and will not be able to produce the energy needed to carry out cell functions. The cell that receives all the mitochondria will have no major problems, it will be able to carry out cellular respiration and thus produce energy.
