Answer:
Properties of life include the use of <u><em>energy</em></u> to power an organisms activities.
Explanation:
Energy is the driving force which allows every cell to perform its functions. Organisms like humans tend to gain energy by the process of cellular respiration. Cellular respiration can be described as a process in which organisms make carbon dioxide and water from glucose (from food) and oxygen (from air). Huge amounts of ATP is also released during this process. In plants, the process of photosynthesis and cellular respiration supplies them with the energy sources.
Answer:
this phenomenon is a natural consequence of evolutionary processes and continental drift
Explanation:
Marsupials are mammals in which newborn offspring are carried in a pouch of the female (mother) body. On the other hand, placentals are mammals that complete embryo development in the mother's body, in the placenta. All the extant marsupials are endemic to Australia and the Americas. It has been shown that marsupials diverged (evolved) in South America, Australia and Antarctica when these landmasses were joined. In Australia, marsupials evolved to fit an ecological niche, which can be attributed to geographic isolation due to continental drift, while placental mammals are relatively recent and more scarce (mainly bats and rodents) within this region.
