Question

Difference between nutrition in amoeba and rumminants

Answer 1

Amoebas take in nutrients via phagocytosis and pinocytosis. Phagocytosis is what occurs when an amoeba surrounds a solid food particle with its pseudopods to form a vacuole (known as a phagosome) in which digestion of the food particle then occurs.




Ruminants are mammals that are able to acquire nutrientsfrom plant-based food by fermenting it in a specialized stomach prior to digestion, principally through microbial actions. ... Ruminating mammals include cattle, goats, sheep, giraffes, yaks, deer, antelope, and some macropods (kangaroos).
