How does the amoeba obtain energy?

An amoeba gets energy in the same way that you do - from its food.An amoeba feeds by sending out 'bulges' of its cytoplasm, called pseudopodia, to surround a small food particle eg a smaller protozoan or an alga. The food, together with a small drop of the water is taken into the cell to become a food vacuole. Enzymes are then added to the food vacuole to digest the food. The soluble products of digestion are taken into the cytoplasm and used for respiration or growth.The release of energy from food is called respiration. Usually, the sugar called glucose is used by cells


What happens when water gets absorbed?

Food that provide energy and materials for cell development, growth, and repair.


What burns food to provide energy for cell activities?

The process that burns food to provide energy for cell activities is called cellular respiration. During cellular respiration, glucose from food is broken down in the presence of oxygen to produce ATP (adenosine triphosphate), which is the energy currency of the cell. This process occurs in the mitochondria of cells.


What is the relationship of calories to cellular respiration?

Calories are a form of energy. Any time a cell converts food into energy then the cell is breathing. So the relationship is that in order for cell respiration to occur the cell must convert food and calories (energy).


What part of a cell uses cellular rspiration to release energy stored in food?

The mitochondria is the organelle in a cell that uses cellular respiration to release energy stored in food molecules, such as glucose. It is often referred to as the powerhouse of the cell due to its role in producing adenosine triphosphate (ATP), the cell's main energy source.
