The correct Answer is:
To solve the question, we need to fill in the blanks with the correct terms related to the functions of vacuoles in Amoeba. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the first blank**: The question states that in Amoeba, a specific type of vacuole is important for osmoregulation and excretion. - We know that Amoeba is a unicellular organism that uses a specific vacuole to manage water balance and remove waste. This vacuole is known as the **contractile vacuole**. 2. **Identify the second blank**: The question mentions that in many cells, particularly in protists, another type of vacuole is formed by engulfing particles. - In the case of Amoeba and similar protists, when they engulf food particles, they form a **food vacuole**. This process involves the cell membrane extending around the food particle to create a vacuole that can digest the food. 3. **Combine the answers**: - For the first blank, we have identified the term as **contractile** (contractile vacuole). - For the second blank, we have identified the term as **food** (food vacuole). Thus, the completed sentence is: "In Amoeba, the **contractile** vacuole is important for osmoregulation and excretion. In many cells, as in protists, **food** vacuoles are formed by engulfing the particles." ### Final Answer: - (i) contractile - (ii) food ---
