<span>B. A secondary consumer that obtains its energy from the consumption of animals.
The red-tailed hawk is a secondary consumer because it feeds itself on primary consumers (those that eat plants, herbivores). Secondary consumers, by definition, </span><span>obtain their energy from eating other animals. Secondary consumers are also usually the ones that stand on the second and above rows of a food chain, being the plants at the bottom and the primary consumers just above the plants.</span>
Meiosis sexual reproduction only occurs in the gametes, which do not contribute to the body's growth and repair, only reproduction.
Replication mitosis, however, produces diploid cells identical to the parent/mother cell, which aids in the body's growth and repair.
Answer:
Earthworm - have a coelom and a closed circulatory system.
Scallops or clams - has a mantle and an open circulatory system.
Starfish - has an endoskeleton made of calcium-rich plates.
Spider - exhibits the phenomenon of molting.
Explanation:
Earthworm belongs to Phylum Annelida. They are metamerically segmented, triploblastic and bilaterally symmetrical. They have a closed circulatory system and a coelom (true body cavity).
Scallops or clams belong to Phylum Mollusca, the second largest animal phylum. They are coelomate, triploblastic, bilaterally symmetrical organisms having an open circulatory system. They have a calcareous shell covered body with a distinct head, muscular foot, visceral hump and a mantle (soft and spongy layer of skin) over the hump.
Starfish belongs to Phylum Echinodermata, which consists of exclusively free-living marine organisms. They have an endoskeleton made up of calcium carbonate structures. They are coelomate, triploblastic and have a water vascular system that is used for respiration, locomotion, food capture and transport.
Spiders belong to Phylum Arthropoda. They have chitinous covered segmented bodies, jointed legs and exoskeletons (hard external shells). Arthropods periodically shed their exoskeletons or shells in order to grow, this process is called molting. They are coelomate, triploblastic, bilaterally symmetrical organisms having an open circulatory system.
<span>Triglyceride. Triglycerides are organic molecules found in fat cells like the subcutaneous tissues. They are the main constituents of body fat in humans and other animals; they are a type of lipids found in the blood which the body uses for energy in cases of starvation.</span>
