Answer: It is called phagocytosis.

Explanation:

Phagocytosis is a process whereby some cells called phagocytes use their plasma membrane to engulf large particles which lead to death and decomposition of the engulfed material for nutrients or as a form of immune response. Examples of living cells that undergo phagoctosis is Amoeba( for nutrition) and white blood cells in multicellular organisms as a form of immune response against pathogens.

The chemical energy of these plants all started with what energy source?
Zielflug [23.3K]

Answer:

Sun(solar energy)

Explanation:

The sun is the ultimate source of energy in our solar system.

The chemical energy in plants all started out with solar energy from the sun.

During the process of photosynthesis;

  • green plants manufactures their food using sunlight.
  • in the presence of this solar energy, they combine carbon dioxide and water to produce glucose and oxygen.

Photosynthetic reaction simply converts solar energy from the sun into chemical energy.

Almost all animals obtain their own energy needs from the plants converting the chemical energy into other forms of energy.

Some of the examples of phylogenetic tree are as following:

  • A notochord and jaws includes in birds and ray-finned fishes.  
  • Mammals and tortoises are closer to one another than lungfish and sharks are.  
  • Organic Descendants (d) have wings.  
  • Rays and frogs are columned vertebrally.  
  • A shared ancestor of all chordates is the organism (a).
