If an amoeba engulfs a particle of food does it use energy?
vovangra [49]

Answer:

Endocytosis is a form of active transport hence require enegry powered by ATP. The amoeba needs to change shape and engulf and envaginate the particle and then use vessicle transportation to get the materials into the cell. This requires that the cytoskeleton - composed of tubules and filaments - contracts and relax accordingly. This requires energy by ATPs just like the myosin and actin of muscle.

Phagocytosis, another  form of endocytosis, is used by some cells such as immune cells to engulf foreign material and then destroy them by use of lysozymes. This is how phagocytes protect the body from invaders.

Which statements about the production of ATP ATP in chloroplasts are true? The production of ATP ATP in chloroplasts does not re
Lostsunrise [7]

Answer:

A proton gradient is generated by the transport of protons into the thylakoid lumen.

Protons move from the thylakoid lumen to the stroma through ATP synthase, producing ATP.

Explanation:

During photosynthesis, the environment is made acidic inside the lumen i.e. H⁺ are pumped into thylakoid lumen from stroma as a result of which more H⁺ are present in the thylakoid lumen as compared to stroma. It happens during light dependent reaction of photosynthesis. The concentration of H⁺ is already higher in lumen and transfer of more and more H⁺ from stroma increases the concentration of H⁺ even more leading to generation of a potential gradient. These H⁺ subsequently tend to move freely from lumen to stroma via "reverse pumps known as ATP synthase". The reason why these are known as reverse pumps is because pumps usually move particles from lower to higher concentration which is an active movement i.e. not natural so such movement requires energy. Naturally particles move from higher to lower concentration gradient until the concentration becomes equal on both the sides but pumps act opposite of this natural process and move particles from lower to higher concentration and utilize energy to do it. But here H⁺ are moving from higher to lower concentration which occurs naturally so ATP synthase rather than using energy tend to generate energy and this free energy is used to generate ATP from ADP & Pi (inorganic phosphate).

Diano4ka-milaya [45]

Answer:

Medulla.

By analyzing the DNA extracted from the hair follicle, the medullary index and the pattern of medulla in the hair samples obtained from a crime scene, an investigator can identify the owner.

Explanation:

The hair consists of follicle and shaft. The follicle is the part of the skin, where the hair grows and the hair shaft has three layers: an inner medulla,  a cortex, and an outer cuticle.

The morphology (physical characteristics) of hair provides a broad detail on the racial background of  an individual and an investigator can identify a  group of people who share similar  traits. But the hair without follicle cells attached to it, cannot  be used to identify a specific individual. If the follicle of a hair is present, then it can lead to individual identification by DNA analysis. Also the medulla of animals is larger than that in the humans. By comparing the medullary index (the ratio of the diameter of the medulla to the diameter of the entire  hair), it can be determined if the hair obtained from crime scene belongs to animals or humans. The macroscopic (length, color, and curliness) and  microscopic characteristics ( pattern of the medulla, pigmentation of  the cortex, and types of scales on the cuticle) of the hair samples are studied during a crime investigation. If the entire hair follicle (follicular tag) is present in the hair samples found at the crime scene, the blood and tissue attached to  the follicle is extracted and analyzed using DNA profiling. DNA analysis of the hair follicle provides  an identification with greater accuracy than the hair shaft.
