Write one similarity between nutrition in amoeba and humans.
Answer in Brief
Solution
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 digestion. Hence, both these organisms are heterotrophs.
