Answer:

(hope this helps can I pls have brainlist (crown) ☺️)

Explanation:

Barriers and gatekeepers are both functions of cell membranes. They're semi-permeable, which means some molecules can pass through but others can't. The concentration of particular chemicals inside the cell is controlled by specialised proteins in the cell membrane.

A cell's plasma membrane, also known as the cell membrane, offers protection. It also maintains a constant environment within the cell, and the membrane serves a variety of purposes. The first is to carry nutrients into the cell, and the second is to transport harmful chemicals out.

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.
