Answer ;

Phagocytosis is when smaller organisms or other food particles are eaten.

Autophagy is when a damaged organelle or small amount of cytosol becomes surrounded by a double membrane and a lysosome fuses with the outer membrane of the vesicle.

Enzymes break down the material. Food vacuoles fuse with a lysosome, whose enzymes digest the food.

Explanation;

-The Lysosomes are organelles that are responsible for intracellular digestion. Lysosomes are vesicles that contain hydrolytic digestive enzymes capable of breaking down large molecules into smaller ones.

-There are several ways in which different varieties of macromolecules may be digested by lysosomes. One mechanism is phagocytosis, the other is autophagy, which entails the removal of membrane-bounded organelles or other cytoplasmic components through the action of lysosomes, and lastly the hydrolytic enzymes may break down or digest the unwanted materials.

Triss [41]

Answer:

c. the cost to growth of allocating resources to defense

d. consistent fitness benefits of high allocations to defense

Explanation:

In order to ensure survival by  escape of  grazing and browsing by herbivores (and insects) plant usually adopt different defence mechanisms.This forms the basis for the optimum defence hypothesis .

The basic idea of the hypothesis is that the type   of  defence that an organism e.g plant  will adopt  against an herbivore depends on its fitness, and since this involve expenditure of energy it will be expensive for the organism to afford and maintain.
