Answer:
c) allowing an organism to adjust to changes in environmental conditions
Explanation:
A stimulus can be defined as any change in the external or internal environment that produces a corresponding response in the organism. These responses enable the organism to maintain an internal equilibrium (homeostasis). Gene expression in prokaryotes, which are the simplest forms of life, is highly regulated by environmental stimuli. Some examples of stimuli known to regulate gene expression patterns in prokaryotic organisms are light, water, pressure, temperature, etc.
The sperm are changing chemical energy into kinetic energy.
Chemical energy is defined as the chemical substance’s potential to undergo a transformation through a chemical reaction. So, this type of energy can be transformed to other forms of energy by a chemical reaction.
Kinetic energy, on the other hand, is the energy that an object (structure) possesses due to its motion.
So, in the example above, chemical energy of the glucose is used (by breaking the bonds of this molecule through the chemical reaction) for the formation of sperm’s kinetic energy (necessary for movement).
A. Immune because this is what the immune systems job is
Adaptations can give an organism a competitive edge but adaptations are not always used for completion against other species
