Answer:
Ability to perform locomotion with their legs
Explanation:
Plants and animals are two distinct species of organisms. Plants are capable of using photosynthesis to obtain their food due to the unique structures that can capture light energy in their cells (autotrophic). Animals, on the other hand, are heterotrophic i.e. cannot perform photosynthesis and therefore, rely on other organisms for food.
Since animals depends on eating other organisms to obtain food/energy, their possession of LEGS or ability to LOCOMOTE is very instrumental to their success as non-photosynthetic or heterotrophic organisms. This enables them leave one position in search for food and resources

Answer: "homeostatic (dynamic equilibrium) range"
Homeostasis can be observed through the "homeostatic range (pre-set limits)" of the body's pH, temperature and blood glucose.
Explanation:
Homeostasis is the control of internal environment , physical and chemical conditions maintained by the living systems. A body takes control of its internal environment in spite of external forces interruptions. It can be defined as the body's defensive mechanisms.
Homeostasis is maintained and controlled by the nervous system.
Homeostasis is for optimal functioning of the internal environment such as body pH, body temperature, fluid balance, chemical ions balance (calcium, sodium and potassium) and blood glucose.
Body temperature is normally about 37.5° C (98.6° F).
Salt concentration in body fluids is normally about 0.9%
Blood glucose is normally about 10 mg/ml.
A disturbed (imbalanced body as a result of external forces) body regains its haemostasis balance by
Activating reflexes that fight the disturbance and maintaining behaviours to counteract the disturbance.
The number of mitochondria per cell varies widely; for example, in humans, erythrocytes (red blood cells) do not contain any mitochondria, whereas liver cells and muscle cells may contain hundreds or even thousands. The only eukaryotic organism known to lack mitochondria is the oxymonad Monocercomonoides species.
Answer: b. The use of protein as an energy source is greater for endurance atheletes than those who body build or lift weights.
Explanation:
Proteins are the biomolecules. They are composed of polymers of amino acids. It is required by the body to repair tissues and build muscles, bones, and necessary component of skin, and cartilage.
The body of athletes require more protein than body builder or weight lifters. This is because during athletic practices like running, swimming and others the muscular mass should be strong enough to conduct long continous practice. The muscle mass is build up by proteins. The muscles may experience lack of oxygen during regular practice and may become weak. Thus require more protein so that the strength may remain maintained.
