When a petal is plucked from a flower, it will not remain alive for very long. It will soon start to decompose.

Explanation:

To understand this, we need to go back to the act of plucking the flower as such from the plant. The moment a flower is plucked from a plant, it stops receiving any further nutrition from the plant. Whatever nutrients were present in the flower at the time of plucking it will continue to keep it alive and once those nutrients are used up, the flower will start to decompose.

In this case, since the petal is plucked from a flower which already was surviving on limited nutrients, it will decompose very quickly.

According to the characteristics of life, it cannot be considered dead at the time it's plucked. It <u>continues to live, but for a very brief time</u>.

4. What was the “basic idea” about matter that Leucippus and Democritus proposed?
topjm [15]
Democritus is a Greek theorist that believes that atom is the smallest part of the substance. Atom, as he defined, is an indivisible entity. Leuccipus was Democritus' teacher who also believed on that notion. All matter are made up of atoms. If atoms are intact, the property of the substance is firm and solid while if the atoms are much apart, it would be described as a gas. Aristotle had a different belief of matter. He believed that the composing entities of matter are the four elements. However, this notion was rejected and proven through scientific inquiries about atoms and subatomic particles

The two animals which use echolocation are bats and dolphins.

Both hunt their prey by articulating high-pitched sounds and listening for the echoes.

<h3>What is echolocation?</h3>

Echolocation is a method used by bats, dolphins and other animals to select the location of objects using reflected sound. This allows the animals to move around in pitch darkness, so they can guide, hunt, identify friends and enemies, and avoid obstacles.

Thus, bats and dolphins are two animals that use echolocation.
