Describe how amoebas obtain food?

Biology
1 answer:
monitta3 years ago
7 0
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).

Which is the role of restriction enzymes?
dezoksy [38]
Restriction enzymes and or restriction endonucleases are involved at recognizing specific sequence of nucleotides and cutting or splicing them at appropriate regions to produce fragments that can either be sticky ends or blunt ends depending on where they cut and the nature of nucleotides involved within the fragments. They play an important role in genetic engineering, as geneticists can use them for placing into extra chromosomal information and or content of plasmids in certain bacteria, from other sources, for instance antibiotics, grow and or produce many individual colonies of bacteria, isolate them and one would have many sequences for instance that can code for an antibiotic that can be extracted and used further. Assuming the bacteria's plasmid can take in that sequence.

What do you think selectively permeable means?
enot [183]

Answer:

B. The membrane lets certain substances move across it freely, while others must move through a “gate”.

Explanation:

Selective permeability is a property of cellular membranes that only allows certain molecules to enter or exit the cell. This is important for the cell to maintain its internal order irrespective of the changes to the environment. For example, water, ions, glucose and carbon dioxide may need to be imported or exported from the cell depending on its metabolic activity. Similarly, signaling molecules may need to enter the cell and proteins may need to be released into the extracellular matrix. The presence of a selectively permeable membrane allows the cell to exercise control over the quantum, timing and rate of movement of these molecules.
