Answer: The reproductive capacity of the star fish is asexual.

Explanation: The starfish is known to reproduce another of its kind by fragmenting. It is by breaking a part of its one or more arms. The broken fragment grows to be individual starfish. And if you are wondering the broken arm of the parent starfish, well it regrows.  

You can observe this phenomenon in plants as well and definitely with other sea creatures and bacteria, e.g., corals, sponges, and cyanobacteria

Starfish reproduces by both sexual and asexual means while other animals like deer, rabbit and humans go only by sexual reproduction.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Starfish is a species belonging to class Ochinodermata and is a marine species. Starfishes are known for their tremendous and effective regeneration and reproductive capacity. Starfishes reproduce through the vegetative fission method which is the asexual manner.

Also starfish reproduces majorly by spawning, which is a process where the school of starfish pool together and release their gametes into the water. The probability of the gamete mating is increased.

Whereas the other animals like deer, rabbit and human beings reproduce sexually only. These animals has male and female members who have their respective gonads and gametes. After intercourse, the gametes fuse and an embryo develops inside the female member giving birth to an offspring.

What set of characteristics do living organisms such as birds, trees, and bacteria have that distinguish them from nonliving thi
Sergio [31]
The 7 (sometimes 8) characteristics of life are:
1. living things are composed of cells
2. living things have different levels of organization
3. living things metabolize (i.e. use energy)
4. living things respond to their environment
5. living things grow
6. living things reproduce
7. living things adapt to their environment
(some sources include) 8. living things have genetic material

Viruses do not metabolize, they do not grow, they do not adapt to their environment, and they cannot reproduce independently; viruses require host cells to reproduce and perform the other functions that give them the appearance of aliveness.

You are studying a metabolic enzyme that is found in organisms living at extremely high temperatures and an acidic environment.
gulaghasi [49]

Answer:

Increasing the substrate concentration.

Explanation:

Increasing the substrate concentration can increase the rate of the reaction to a certain point. However, once all of the enzymes bounded to the substrate, any further addition of it will not be going to affect or increase the rate of the reaction at all, as all the enzymes will be saturated and working in their maximum rates.
