Answer:
The easiest argument is the next one:
Suppose phytochemicals are like money. If I put you in a phone cabin with a lot of money and give you 30 sec to be there collecting as much money as you can, at the end you will collect not all the money and a lot of money will be lost. The same happens whit phytochemicals in supplements there are so many that your body can't use them all.
And other thing is that phytochemicals in supplements comes so concentrated that your body will be overstimulated to take this phytochemicals and that changes your normal digestion, in the time it may looks good...but if you don't take supplements anymore, your body will feel the lost and the physical results would be awull.
Bacteria divides and reproduce by the process of binary fission.
Answer:
(A) The variation resulting from meiosis and the union of gametes means some individuals will have a chance of colonizing diverse distant environments successfully.
(D) Vegetative propagation is more efficient than sexual reproduction when the current generation is well adapted to the local environment.
Explanation:
Sexual or asexual (options B and C) are not a "last ditch", it pretty much depends on the type of organism and its strategy for survival. There are thousands of organisms that can reproduce either sexually or asexually depending on the environmental conditions.
Option A. Genetic variability is important because sometimes the genetic variability produce during the sexual reproduction processes (crossing over, chromosomes assortment and DNA from 2 parents) can confer an organism the adaptability mechanism to thrive in different environments.
Option D. Since asexual reproduction delivers genetical equal organisms, the offspring is already adapted to local conditions and can colonize at a faster rate.
Answer:
I don't know the exact word they want, but organisms use energy for motion and any activity they perform regularly. (eg: hunting, climbing, digging, etc.)
