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 keystone species feed on other animals and prevent them from damaging the ecosystem?
Naddika [18.5K]

D.  Predators

Predators keep populations of other species in check.  This was pretty clearly demonstrated in Yellowstone National Park after the wolves were eradicated there.  The deer populations increased to the point that the aspen trees nearly disappeared due to the saplings' being eaten by deer.  Since the reintroduction of wolves to the park, the aspen trees have begun to flourish once again.
