Answer:
4. metabolism, growth, and evolution
Explanation:
Living organisms show different characteristics like respiration, movement, metabolism, growth, evolution, respiration, excretion, nutrition. Most of the microbes are microscopic and unicellular which means they are made up of only one cell but they are also living.
They perform three major types of activities like metabolism, growth, and evolution. This can be seen by culturing bacteria on suitable media. So in the medium, it can be observed that they consume the food present in media and extract energy from it through metabolic activities and are showing growth. All micro-organisms evolve due to mutation. So the correct answer is 4.
The evidence of common ancestry is based on study of
three parameters; fossils record, homologies of various
organisms, and study of biogeography. Fossils record determines the similarity and differences of
bones as well as shells of different organisms over a given period of time. On the
other hand, studying of homologies involves assessment of mitochondrial DNA and
other proteins with an aim of finding similarity from one organism to
another. Finally, Biogeography is the
assessment of how continental drift might have separated organisms which had
got common ancestry and they were living together.
A reproductive strategy presents an approach of a type of an organism to reproduction and of taking care of it's offspring.
Generaly speaking, there are two main reproductive strategies, K and R reproductive strategies.
The organisms that apply the R strategy produce a great number of small, independent offspring and when the offspring is born or hatched it's left to
try to survive on its own. This strategy is used by bacteria, many invertebrates, and reptiles.
On the other hand, the K strategy organisms produce a small number of offspring that they care of for a significant amount of time after they are born. This strategy is used mostly by mammals and birds.
There environmental change would only have to occur when their is a sudden change in the amount of water, which would be a larger amount of water because that’s the only reason the bullfrog would need to store more water to help this species survive. This is called structural adaptation, structural adaptations are the physical features of an organism to help survive the new environment.
The answer is B: contains mostly cellulose; forms the outer layer of animal cells
