The nervous system communicates through electrical impulses and the communication is very fast. It works in a relay fashion, from point to point comparable to the way the old telephones systems used to work.
The endocrine system communicates by chemical signals via the bloodstream. Hormones are secreted into the blood and extra cellular fluids, then transported to target cells, which must bear a receptor to be able to bind to a specific hormone, and respond.
Hormones are chemical messengers secreted into blood or extracellular fluid that affect the function of other cells.
Endocrine communication is not quite as fast as the nervous system communication
Answer:
Their cell walls are composed of very different biochemicals.
Explanation:
Biological classification is important to classify the organisms on the basis of their similarities and differences between them. Linnaeus is known as the father of biological classification.
Cellwall plays an important role in the maintenance of structure and function of the organisms. The composition of the cell wall of fungi, plants and prokaryotes are quite different. Plants cell wall made of cellulose, fungi has chitin in its cell wall and prokaryotes has different layers of cell wall.
Thus, the correct answer is option (D).
Answer:
Intraspecific competition

The process of respiration system would not function well if the lungs was made up of only one big alveoli.
<u>Explanation:</u>
The main role of alveoli is to help the lungs to breath, for ventilation, diffusion and perfusion. The process of respiration system would not function well if the lungs was made up of only one big alveoli.
Alveoli are tiny to help the flow of oxygen and carbon dioxide, it helps the oxygen flow into the lungs and remove the carbon dioxide. If the alveoli is just one and big, then it would be hard to flow the oxygen through lungs and remove the carbon dioxide.
Therefore, it is good to have many tiny alveoli than one big one or the rib cage that protect the lungs could go through some damages.
The correct answer is: marsupials.
Marsupials are actually defined by their ability to hold the young in the pouches, where they can be well protected. Some examples are Kangaroos and Koalas.
Other answers are wrong: for example, gymnosperms are plants, not animals.
