Answer:

The correct answer would be the reproduction.

All living organisms whether unicellular or multi-cellular start their lives as a single cell. The cells then grow, divide and differentiate which help in the growth and development of the organism.

The growth and development help the organisms to attain the characteristics of the species which help them to survive in an ecosystem. The unicellular organisms do not divide for their development but they grow in size to attain maturity.

Response or consciousness is one of the characteristics of life which is essential for the survival of an organism.

In contrast, reproduction helps in the survival of the population of the species but not the in the survival of the organism. Organisms which become sterile or sterile by birth (such as honey bee, ants et cetera) can survive throughout their life.

Hence, we can conclude that reproduction is the characteristic of life, which is not essential to the survival of an individual organism

Part A Why are Northeast Pacific populations of transient and resident killer whales thought to represent different ecotypes rat

abruzzese [7]

Answer:

<u>Transient killer whales prey on marine mammals, while resident killer whales prey on Chinook salmon</u>

Explanation:

Remember, the term "ecotypes" is used to refer specifically to the observable differences found in the various kinds of whales, which includes <em>their breeding populations, their language of communication, social structure, the type of food they eat, and their hunting behavior.</em>

Thus, in the case of transient and resident killer whales in the Northeast Pacific, they are thought to represent different ecotypes rather than different species the Transient killer whales prey (feed) on marine mammals, while resident killer whales prey on Chinook salmon. Also, whales are generally thought to belong to the same species.

Where is long-wavelength radiation created?

Ivahew [28]

On the earth surface

Explanation:

The long-wavelength radiation is created on the earth surface when electromagnetic radiation is re-emitted.

The sun releases radiation in form of short-wave.
They are usually more energetic and with short wavelength and a high frequency.
When they interact with materials on the earth, they are radiated back as long-wavelength radiation that usually causes heat.
Ultraviolet rays and other high energy waves are emitted from the sun because it is a very hot body.
When these radiations enters the earth, they are re-radiated back as long waves with lower energy.
Earth is cooler than the sun
When some of the short waves for example, the ultraviolet rays gets to the surface, it is absorbed and re-radiated back.
When the short waves are absorbed, they lose some of their their energy to the earth surface.
The remainder is radiated back as less energetic long waves.
The hotter a body is, the more energetic the radiation it releases.
