VikaD [51]

Answer:

- Organism A is most likely a herbivore

- Organism B is most likey a carnivore

Explanation:

Based on feeding habit, organisms, usually animals, can be classified into three categories namely: herbivores, carnivores and omnivores.

- Herbivores are those organisms that feed on vegetative matter i.e. plants while carnivores are those organisms that feed on flesh of other animals or organisms. Based on what they feed on, herbivores are adapted to possess blunt teeth (for chewing) like Organism A in this question while carnivores are adapted to possess sharp teeth (for tearing flesh) like Organism B.

Based on the above explanation, organism A is most likely a HERBIVORE while organisms B is most likely a CARNIVORE.

- Another notable point of difference between herbivores and carnivores, which is likely to differentiate organism A and B as well, is that herbivores possess digestive enzyme- amylase in their saliva while carnivores do not. Herbivores need AMYLASE to break down complex carbohydrate (starch) in the plants they feed on.

Which organic molecule would a long-distance runner most likely choose to eat before a race?
Over [174]
Biomolecules are organic compounds that are present as essential components of living things. There are four major biomolecules namely lipids, proteins, carbohydrates and nucleic acids. Proteins, lipids and glucose are usually used by organisms as energy sources as well as structural components among other functions in living organisms. Nucleic acids are important components that bring about heredity. In this case the appropriate molecule to be chosen by the long distance learner would be carbohydrate because it stores and may be used as a source of energy.
