Write one similarity and one difference between the nutrition in Amoeba and human beings.
Similarity between nutrition in Amoeba and
human beings:
Both
Amoeba and humans require energy for the growth and
maintenance of their bodies. This energy is derived from the food
that they eat. The food that they consume is always in a complex form
and is therefore broken down into simpler forms by the process of
digestion. Hence, both these organisms are heterotrophs.
Differences
between nutrition in Amoeba and human beings:
