Answer:
Endangered
Explanation:
Endangered species are organisms that are at risk of extinction if deliberate efforts are not made to conserve them due to a rapid decrease in their population.
<em>Hence, if a marine biologist writes an article about saving whales and labels them as </em><em>endangered species</em><em>, all efforts should be geared towards saving the animals lest they go extinct and leave a vacuum in the functioning of the ecosystem. Every species have the critical roles they play in the functioning of the ecosystem and the extinction of any particular species represents a loss that might not be replaceable. </em>
Explanation:
Cell Structure
Creatures in kingdom Animalia are all multicellular organisms with eukaryotic cells that have nuclei and organelles. Unlike plants and fungi, animal cells do not have a cell wall. In addition, with the exception of sponges, cells are divided into specialized tissues or organs.
Movement
All Animalia members are mobile at some point in their lives. Motion is achieved through the musculoskeletal system and is one of the factors that allow animals to live in diverse ecosystems including oceans, mountains and deserts. Movement is achieved in various ways including legs, fins and wings.
Food and Respiration
All members of kingdom Animalia are "heterotrophs." They obtain nourishment from other organisms and digest the food internally. In addition, animals utilize aerobic respiration for cellular energy and food breakdown on a molecular level. Oxygen works at a molecular level to complete the metabolic processes necessary to turn fat and sugar into energy for the cells.
The rocky upper layer of the solid earth is called the "lithosphere". This rocky part includes the brittle upper portion of the mantle and also of the crust. It is bounded by the atmosphere above and of the asthenosphere which is another part of the upper portion of the mantle.
