Answer:

C. Cohesion of molecules

Explanation:

Cohesion is the interaction of molecules of the same substance together. By the force of cohesion if two drops of water come together they form one. Water has high rates of cohesion due to hydrogen bonds.

This phenomenon also called surface tension and is what allows small insects to stand on water.

Cohesion along with adhesion of water to the walls of the narrow tube generate what is called capillarity. This allows liquids to ascend inside the narrow tubes. As long as the cohesion is less than the adhesion, the liquid will rise until both forces are equal.

E. coli is a species of bacteria. What advantage does E. coli have over sexually reproducing organisms?

statuscvo [17]

<h3><u>Answer;</u></h3>

The bacteria require less energy to make offspring,

They do not need a partner

Also the reproduction is faster and rapid compared to sexual reproduction.

<h3><u>Explanation</u>;</h3>

Asexual reproduction is a type of reproduction that involves one parent and produces offspring that are genetically identical to each other and to the parent.
In sexual reproduction, on the other hand, two parents are involved, who produce reproductive cells called gametes that unite to form an offspring.
<em><u>E. coli is a bacteria that reproduces asexually. An asexual reproducing organism can produce many offspring in a short period of time without utilizing energy to find a mate</u></em><u>. </u>

All organisms must perform life-sustaining metabolic processes in order to survive.

Alik [6]

Explanation:

Unicellular organisms or single celled organisms that are made up only of one cell. Hence the name.
Unicellular organisms are further divided into Prokaryotic and Eukaryotic organisms
Examples of prokaryotic organisms are bacteria and Eukaryotic are protozoa and unicellular algae, however many eukaryotes are multi cellular as well.
These organisms have to carry out life sustaining metabolic processes for their survival.
These processes are metabolism, homeostasis and reproduction. Metabolism is important as it involves conversion of food into energy for cellular processes. Homeostasis for maintaining a constant internal physical and chemical conditions and reproduction is by cell division.
Multi cellular organisms as the name says unlike unicellular organisms consists of more than one cells.
Examples of multi cellular organisms are animals, land plants etc.,
Metabolic process in multi cellular organisms is a broad category of processes happening for these organisms which involves chemical reactions and pathways that happen at organismal state, transporting substances between the cells.
