The purpose for the strong scent is to attract insects such as bees and butterfly's to help pollinate the flower.
Binomial nomenclature is naming a organism by its genus and species the rules are the genus always comes first and the first letter is capitalized and the species always comes second and is lower case so the mountain lion would be Felis concolor
The 7 (sometimes 8) characteristics of life are:
1. living things are composed of cells
2. living things have different levels of organization
3. living things metabolize (i.e. use energy)
4. living things respond to their environment
5. living things grow
6. living things reproduce
7. living things adapt to their environment
(some sources include) 8. living things have genetic material
Viruses do not metabolize, they do not grow, they do not adapt to their environment, and they cannot reproduce independently; viruses require host cells to reproduce and perform the other functions that give them the appearance of aliveness.
