Answer:

This specie of bacteria requires less energy in order to reproduce and makes offspring.

E.coli does not depends on the other partner for the mode of reproduction.In case of E.coli the bacteria reproduces asexually as it does not involves two parents for its reproduction.

The time period that is required for the reproduction of daughter E.coli. is very less as compared to the other organism.

The energy that is required during this procedure is very less.

<h3>Answer;</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>Explanation;</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.
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.

3. A light meal will digest in about 1-2 hours. Digestion rates can give useful information about when a person had died. Medium meals take about 3-4 hours to digest and heavier meals take about 6 hours.

4. Indicative acts are actions or behaviors that may or may not have taken place before someone dies. Indicative is suggestive, so it may or may have happened.

Diano4ka-milaya [45]

Answer:

The answer is False. Although sensitive cells are more abundant in the anterior portion of the annelid´s body, in general, they are arranged in all the segments.

Explanation:

Annelids, such as the earthworm, have a variety of sensory cells:

Mechanoreceptors, disposed of in groups in each segment of their body.

Photoreceptors: Light-sensitive cells. Although they are located in the whole body, they are abundant in anterior and posterior segments, concentrated in the intern and dorsal part of the epidermis.

Humidity receptors are the most sensitive cells and are located in the first segments of the earthworm body

Chemoreceptors: sensorial cells cumulus forming a prominent tubercle with prolongations that extends through the cuticle. These tubercles form three rings in each segment but are especially abundant in the anterior part of the body.

The tegument is very rich in free nervous terminations, which functions might be tactile.
