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

const2013 [10]

Answer:

a) i) Xylem

   ii) Upper epidermis  

   iii) Stoma

   iv) Chroloplast  

   v) Palisade cell layer

b) By a waxy layer on the cuticle of the leaf

Explanation:

The plant's leaves have a large surface area that is capable of absorbing sunlight. The plant's waxy layer in the surface of the leaf protects it from the loss of water, as well as of diseases caused by the entry of microorganisms. The palisade cell's surface is a single layer of cells underneath the upper epidermis that is adapted to absorb light energy.

The waxy layer is a primary physical barrier composed of insoluble polymers and lipids whose function is to protect the leaves against the entry of harmful organisms including virus, bacteria and fungus. Moreover, the plant's waxy cuticle is also a barrier that prevents the loss of water and solutes.
