Answer:
Aggregate fruit is a fruit that develops from several ovaries forming one flower. An example of an aggregate fruit is a raspberry. Multiple fruit is fruit that develops from a cluster of flowers, and each flower produces a fruit, which turns into a mass of a singular fruit. An example of multiple fruit is a pineapple. Each "cube" of a pineapple is a separate fruit formed from a single flower, yet the pineapple as a whole is one mass of pineapple.

Explanation:
Virus is an organism that has been a topic of debate in biological sciences. This debate is based on whether virus should be classified as a living thing or not. However, it has been shown that viruses possess characteristics or properties of both living and non-living things.
The living thing characteristics include;
- Ability to reproduce or replicate (in living cells only and not on their own).
The nonliving characteristics include;
- Lack of cells, which is a strong criterion for every living thing in accordance to the universal cell theory.
- Inability to self-replicate i.e. reproduce on their own without a living host.
Fungi lacks the ability to produce their own food because they do not have chloroplast which is needed to obtain energy from the sun and convert it into food. Also fungi lack ability to fix nitrogen which has to be incorporated into their food. They also can not fix carbon and utilize it to produce food. Because of these they have to depend on dead organic matters for food.
The difficulty with this answer, lies in the fact that not all of land and ocean biomes have been completely explored. The ocean is vast, covering approximately 70% of the Earth's surface, with literally vertical miles or kilometers of depth, and with some areas with sparse to no biodiversity. The same can be said about certain areas of large deserts with very low levels of biodversity, void of life, like vast deserts of the Sahara or Gobi. But, the Amazon rain forest contains still unknown species of plant and animal life, just like the ocean. Because of its vastness, intellectually, I would say the ocean contains more biodiversity, but the answer is scientifically, as of now, yet to be proven one way or the other.

Explanation:
The main goal of metabolism is for the ultimate release of energy. Energy is simply a function of the ability to do work. In this context, we consider energy in one of it forms, chemical energy.
The chemical energy obtained through digestion of food mostly in the form of glucose is the fuel for almost all of life's processes. This chemical form of energy serves as the power house for our functioning.
Energy is required by the brain to power it and carry out its function. Without energy being supplied to the brain, there won't be a living being.
Energy is needed for locomotion and other life activities. The muscles, bones and other appendages gets their coordination power from the energy released during metabolic processes.
It can be said that all life activities revolves round how organisms obtains and utilize energy.
Nutrients are the nourishment we derive from feeding. The nutrients helps to build our body parts e.g proteins. Energy are derieved from carbohydrates. Fats and oil are also energy sources and they help life functions. Vitamins and minerals supplies needed materials to make everyday life activities successful.
