Question

2 how is a population of amoeba likely to respond to a lack of nutrients in their environment? (a) group together and travel in search of food (b) use energy from the sun to make their own food (c) feed on bacteria until their normal food is available (d) form a capsule around each and become dormant until there is food

Explanation:

Brief Explanations

Amoebas are single - celled organisms. When there is a lack of nutrients, they form a protective capsule around themselves and enter a dormant state until food becomes available. They do not group to search for food in this situation, cannot photosynthesize using solar energy as they are not autotrophs in that way, and feeding on bacteria is not their typical response to nutrient - lack for dormancy.

Answer:

D. form a capsule around each and become dormant until there is food
