Amoeba acquires it food by endocytosis, that is, a small region in the plasma membrane which ultimately forms a intra-cellular membrane-bound vescicle. It engulfs it food using its pseudopodia (temporary protrusion of the surface of the amoeboid cell used for feeding and movement) and forms a vacuole around it. When the food is already trapped inside, it releases a digestive enzyme to digest it. Intake of liquid particles is pinocytosis (cell drinking) while intake of solid particles is phagocytosis (cell eating).
Diatoms contain chloroplasts that have four membranes. These four membranes are evidence of secondary endosymbiosis (Option c).
<h3>What is secondary endosymbiosis?</h3>
Secondary endosymbiosis is a hypothesis used to explain why diatom chloroplasts have four membranes.
According to this hypothesis, diatoms received different genes from distinct photosynthetic and non-photosynthetic ancestors.
The acquisition of genes of different ancestors led to diatoms having chloroplasts with four membranes.

Answer:
because of inefficiency
Explanation:
The organisms that eat the primary consumers are meat eaters (carnivores) and are called the secondary consumers. ... Because of this inefficiency, there is only enough food for a few top level consumers, but there is lots of food for herbivores lower down on the food chain. There are fewer consumers than producers.
Enzymes bind with chemical reactants called substrates
