The plants use the sun as their energy, using photosynthesis.
The insect and animals get their energy from the food they eat.
And bacteria get their energy by decomposing dead organisms.
You might have to do the research on what each animal eats if you need specific answers.
I'm sorry this isn't much, but hope this helps you out! :)
The answers are A, B, & C. Steroid hormones have a
longer half-life than peptide hormones because steroid hormones ride on carrier
proteins in the blood. In other words, they
are bound to protein carriers that transport molecules across the membrane. They can also be stored temporarily in the adipose
tissue. And also, steroid hormones are sent to the nucleus where it regulates transcription
while peptides don’t require this process. This is the reason why the effects of
steroid hormones are exerted more slowly than peptides.
Answer: This is because animals (like humans) have more organelles to store in our bodies than bacteria. This makes sense because without all of our organelles we wouldn't be able to function properly. This is just another one of those form=function things.
