Answer:

In amoeba, the digestion and absorption of food take place in five simple steps:

Ingestion: The amoeba ingests or takes in the food with the help of pseudopodia. It encircles the food particle and engulfs it.

Digestion: The food is digested in a specialized vacuole termed food vacuole. It contains all the necessary digestive enzymes which breakdown the complex food substances into smaller and simpler units.

Absorption: The digested food is then absorbed in the cytoplasm by the process called simple diffusion. If excess food is available, then amoeba stores it in the cytoplasm in the form of lipids and glycogen.

Assimilation: The absorbed nutrients are then used for energy production which helps in growth, repair, locomotion, and reproduction.

Egestion: When a sufficient amount of waste and undigested is collected in the food vacuole, it is thrown out of the body by integrating or rupturing cell membranes.

The secondary structure of proteins results because of _____ bonding between molecules in the protein molecules' backbone.
topjm [15]

Answer:

Hydrogen bonding

Explanation:

The newly synthesised proteins as a result of the process of translation are linear structures formed by linear arrangement of amino acids.

The linear structure of a protein is known as the primary structure which changes its conformation and take the shape of either the helix or the pleated sheet. This helical or pleated sheet structure is known as a secondary structure.

The secondary structure is formed due to the bond formed between the hydrogen of the carbonyl group and the amino group which form the backbone of the protein structure. The hydrogen bond causes the linear polypeptide to form spiral helical or bend pleated sheet.

Thus, Hydrogen bonding is the correct answer.

Que es la biogenesis
ira [324]

La biogénesis es el proceso fundamental de los seres vivos que producen otros seres vivos. Ejemplo: una araña pone huevos de los que saldrán más arañas. La biogénesis es aquel principio según el cual la vida solamente se origina de una vida preexistente (que ha existido antes).
