Correct answer choice is:
B) Carry out essential life functions.
Explanation:
They are essential to the lives of people, plants, animals, and all other organisms. Nutrients help cut down food to give organisms potential. The most essential nutrients they require are carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen. Other nutrients required by plants are nitrogen, phosphorous, potassium, calcium, magnesium, and sulfur.
Sexual reproduction produces genetically different offsprings which do possess variations, hence better chance to survive in the environment.
Option C
<h3><u>Explanation:</u></h3>
Sexual reproduction is the process of reproduction where there's a fusion of gametes from a male and female of the same species, resulting in a zygote and eventually an offspring. Sexual reproduction is very advanced type of reproduction which is very expensive for an organism. Much of the energy of the organism is spent to produce gametes and other necessary processes for reproduction.
Gametes of the sexual reproduction is produced mainly by means of meiotic cell division. This involves crossing over and chaismata formation which helps in genetic variations in the offspring. These variations help the species to survive unknown changes in environment, and helps to adapt quickly lessening the chances of extinction. So sexual reproduction has modified various times in different groups of species.
Answer:
There are three main types of blood vessels:
1)Artery ---
i) It is a blood vessel having a thick wall.
ii) It carries blood from the heart to different parts of the body.
iii) On regulatory demand of the body it can dilate or constrict.
iv) It doesn't contain any valve.
v) All arteries carry oxygenated blood except the pulmonary artery.
2)Vein ---
i) It is a blood vessel having a thin wall.
ii) It brings blood from different parts to the heart.
iii) It can't dilate or constrict under normal conditions.
iv) It contains valves that allow the blood to flow in one direction towards the heart.
v) All veins carry deoxygenated blood except the pulmonary vein.
3)Capillary ---
i) It is a very narrow blood vessel that has very thin walls.
ii) It forms a network throughout the body in all living cells connecting arteries to veins.
iii) It can dilate or constrict according to the requirement of tissue.
iv) It doesn't have any valve.
v) It contains mixed blood as it connects arteries and veins
