Solution

failed

The answer is the second one (B): Bacteria.

Explanation for each option:

  • Human cells: Human cells use endocytosis to intake nutrients and other substances. This process involves the cell membrane engulfing material to bring it into the cell.
  • Bacteria: Bacteria do not use endocytosis. They typically absorb nutrients through their cell membrane via diffusion or active transport mechanisms.
  • Protozoa: Protozoa, which are single-celled eukaryotes, use endocytosis to intake nutrients and other cells. They often engulf food particles or other cells through processes like phagocytosis.

Summary: Bacteria do not use endocytosis for intake of nutrients or other cells, whereas human cells and protozoa do.
