<span>Invertebrate<span>, </span>any animal that lacks a vertebral column, or backbone, in contrast to the cartilaginous or bony vertebrates. More than 90 percent of all living animal species are invertebrates. Worldwide in distribution, they include animals as diverse as sea stars, sea urchins, earthworms, sponges, jellyfish, lobsters, crabs, insects, spiders, snails, clams, and squid. Invertebrates are especially important as agricultural pests, parasites, or agents for the transmission of parasitic infections to humans and other vertebrates. Invertebrates serve as food for humans and are key elements in food chains that support birds, fish, and many other vertebrate species.Apart from the absence of a vertebral column, invertebrates have little in common. Indeed, they are distributed between more than 35 phyla. In contrast, all vertebrates are contained within a single phylum, the Chordata. (Phylum Chordata also includes the sea squirts and some other invertebrate groups.) Invertebrates are generally soft-bodied animals that lack a rigid internal skeleton for the attachment of muscles but often possess a hard outer skeleton (as in most mollusks, crustaceans, and insects) that serves, as well, for body protection.</span>

Explain what asexual reproduction is, using a spider plant as an example.
kupik [55]
Answer:

Asexual reproduction is a type of reproduction that doesn’t involve gametes fusing or the change in the number of chromosomes. A spider plant is the perfect example of asexual reproduction, but when it comes to plants like that, it’s referred to a type of asexual reproduction called vegetative propagation.

Well, wind and solar energy are good places to look at. The highest wind speed recorded in Antartica was roughly 199 mph, so they would definitely gain a large amount of energy from the wind. A smaller turbine can handle severe weather conditions, so setting some up along the most wind ridden places would be good. Solar energy would also be the best option since their days are longer than their nights over there. There can be days at a time where the sun doesn't rise at all, and then there are some where there is sunlight for a full 24 hours. So, it really depends on your preference, and the cons and pros of the energy type.
For wind: Set up a series of turbines along the areas that have the most wind. Turbines can withstand large storms. There is usually some kind of wind blowing.
For solar: Set up some solar panels where they would be able to get the most amount of sunlight. There are 24 hour long days of sunlight, but there are also some days where there is no sunlight at all.

Hope this helps you a bit.
