Answer:

a. My list is the following:

1. presence of photosynthetic pigments

2. presence of cell wall

3. body symmetry pattern

4. presence of cell nucleus

5. presence of specialized organelles

6. presence of hair

7. presence of mammal glands  

8. niche (e.g., terrestrial or marine habitats)

9. diet (food habits)

10. position of a particular muscle

Explanation:

b. In the list above, traits such as the presence of a cell nucleus or specialized organelles can be used to classify organisms at the kingdom level (since these phenotypic features are observed in eukaryotic organisms but not in prokaryotes). In a similar mode, animals may exhibit two different body symmetry patterns: radial (around the central axis) and bilateral (two sides: left and right), thereby symmetry body can be used to classify organisms within the animal kingdom. Other features used to classify species at high levels include the presence of photosynthetic pigments in green plants (chlorophyll) and bacteria (xanthophyll), presence of cell walls in plants (composed of cellulose,)  and fungi (composed of chitin), presence of hair and mammal glands (mammals), etc. On the other hand, ecological differences (e.g., food habits, niche) and minor anatomical differences (e.g., the position of a particular muscle) are helpful to classify species at the family/genus level.

melisa1 [442]

Answer:

It is a facultative anaerobic organism.

Explanation:

This organism makes ATP (energy provider molecule) by aerobic respiration in presence of oxygen, but when oxygen is removed it is capable of switching to fermentation (sugar consumption increases and growth rate decreases).

This happens because fermentation is much less effective at producing ATP and therefore there is not enough energy for growth.

This organisms are called facultative anaerobic.

Organisms with this type of metabolism include bacteria like Escherichia coli and Salmonella or yeast like Saccharomyces cerevisiae.
