What is chitin and where is it present in fungi?
The Amoeba cell exhibits specialized abilities that enable it to react to a stimulus by producing a response or a behavior. It can do this because it has adapted properties exhibited by simpler more primitive cells. These cellular properties include a) Separation of the fluid environments inside and outside the cell. b) Active transport of Na+ out of and K+ into the cell, c) diffusion of Na+ in to and K+ out of a cell in reaction to a stimulus, d) the stimulus interacting with a receptor site in a membrane embedded protein, e) All of these are true.
What structure in the Entamoeba
histolytica is sometimes called a "false
foot" and has a similar function to the
musculoskeletal system of humans
because it helps the amoeba move
through its environment?
Pseudopod
