Some chemicals increase the mutation rate, physical agents such as radiation also increase the mutation rate. There are viruses that are mutagens as well. Also, the number of mutations that an organism produce can also be phenotypically plastic.
Hope this helps. (This is the definition my bio teacher gave me.)
Answer:
1. Obtaining energy
2. responding to a stimulus
3. reproduction
4. excretion
Explanation:
1. All living organisms require energy for their life processes. This energy is derived from food. The food we eat contains biomolecules that store energy. The energy stored by these food molecules is released by a process called RESPIRATION. Image 1 shows a cat trying to obtain energy by feeding. The food will eventually be broken down to release energy.
2. Stimulus is any thing (whether internal or external) that causes a change in an organism. In image 2, a man is responding to a sudden change in his back, which is pain.
3. Reproduction is a characteristics of living organisms that involves the production of young ones. Image 3 depicts two cells undergoing fertilization (fusion of nuclei) to produce a new cell. In turn, the cell divides again to form two gametes. The cycle continues like that.
4. Excretion is the removal of waste products from a cell. According to Image 4, the cell allows a food particle in and releases the waste contents out of the cell.
