Answer:

As amoeba is a unicellular organism all the physiological processes are performed by the single cell.

Explanation:

The food is captured by the pseudopodia and after entering into the body it forms food vacuole. Then the food is broken down by enzymatic activities within the food vacuole and the simplified food absorbed by the cytoplasm.

The remaining undigested food is expelled by the plasma membrane. This is done by rupture of the cell membrane and the waste products diffused out of the plasma.  

Most of the time the food captured by amoeba is absorbed more and less waste is formed.

Amoeba reproduces the process of binary fission. It is a type of asexual reproduction where the body is divided into 2, 4, 8.... then 16 and so on.. many cells. These small amoeboid cells grow and become new organisms.  

As it is a single-cell organism, nutrition, assimilation, excretion, the reproduction process occurs at a fast rate.

How is anaerobic respiration affect by changes in temperature ?
Paha777 [63]

Answer:

The rising temperature will increase the rate of anaerobic respiration, up to a point. Beyond that the heat will start putting a stress on the organismand the rate will go down. More heat will eventually kill the organelles.

As part of an experiment on circadian rhythms, a laboratory rat’s brain has been lesioned. The animal is now falling asleep and
Sergio039 [100]

Answer:the part of the brain that has most likely been damaged in this experiment is the suprachiasmatic nucleus (SCN) found in the hypothalamus of the brain.

Explanation:

circadian rhythms are behavioural changes that respond to light and darkness in an organisms environment. The sleep-inducing wake cycle is a good example of a circadian rhythm. In the experiment, the disruption of the mouse SCN led to development of imbalances in the circadian rhythm of sleep and wake cycle leading to falling asleep and waking up at random times of the day and night. I hope this helps. Thanks

4 a muscle cramp is a sudden, painful contraction of a muscle, during which movement is difficult. What is happening at the cell
stiks02 [169]

In the case of the muscular cramps, the muscle contraction starts with the generation of the action potentials from the brain. The action potential causes the release of the calcium ions movement out of the sarcoplasmic reticulum (storage site of calcium). The calcium released in this process causes the contraction of the myofibrils with the help of the ATP molecules. Meanwhile, the calcium is pumped back to the sarcoplasmic reticulum through the fast calcium pumps.  

The contraction of one muscle cell generate the action potential in neighboring muscle cells. When the generation of the action potential is stopped, the sarcoplasmic reticulum relaxes as well as the muscle is relaxed. The fast calcium pump is powered by a sodium gradient, and the calcium influx is a result of fast outflux of the sodium ions from the sarcoplasmic reticulum.

In case, the sodium ion is less, the calcium pumps cannot be powered, the calcium ion would remain in myofibril, as a result, the muscle would be contracted for a longer time and this result in cramps. The muscle in this case, would be relaxed by the ATP instead of sodium gradient. So, it can be concluded that the muscle cramps are caused when the muscles are not able to relax properly.
