Answer:

B) A worm that lives inside a bear.

Explanation:

A parasite is a living organism that lives inside or outside of another organism called a HOST in order to obtain nourishment from such organism. A parasite that lives inside its host is called ENDOPARASITE while a parasite that lives outside its host is called ECTOPARASITE.

In this question, a worm that lives inside a bear is a PARASITE because it is living inside the bear, which is the host in order to obtain nourishments. Note that, the answer is not option D because the bear is a HOST not a parasite.

kvasek [131]

Answer:

The given cell represents an animal cell, in which the organelle labelled as 'G' is mitochondrion. Mitochondria are membrane-bound organelles and their inner membrane is folded inward to form finger-like structures or cristae.

The mitochondria are known as the powerhouse of the cells as they are site for biochemical reactions of respiration and energy production.

Thus, the correct answer is 'mitochondrion.'

-why is respiration important for a cell?
Grace [21]
Respiration is how animal cells get their energy to preform their necessary functions. Plant cells don't use respiration, because they use photosynthesis. Photosynthesis turns light into energy.

Tid-bit of info:
Cellular Respiration Formula:
Sugar + Oxygen = Carbon Dioxide + Water <span>+ ATP </span>
C₆H₁₂O₆ + O₂ = CO₂ + H₂O <span>+ ATP </span>
Photosynthesis Formula: 
Sunlight + Water + Carbon Dioxide = Oxygen + Sugar
Sunlight + H₂O + CO₂ = O₂ + C₆H₁₂O₆

Natasha2012 [34]
A is your answer. When only one parent produces the offspring, they are essentially cloning themselves, and it is called asexual reproduction. The offspring only have the genes of the one parent. A lack of genetic diversity is one of the drawbacks to asexual reproduction.
