If all Insectivorous birds and remaining beetles were removed from habitat 2 and SOO additional dark brown beetles and 500 addit
arsen [322]

Answer and Explanation:

Throughout the world, the most different species of organisms are insects.  As compared to the other species, the number of insect species is greater. The exact number of insect species can be estimated from previous and current studies. Approximately nine hundred thousand species of insects are known. Insectivorous birds are those birds that feed on insects. For numerous growing insectivorous birds, insects are used as a source of protein.  One of the most common kinds of insects is beetles. They are found everywhere.  Beetles eat fruits, leaves, and other parts of the plant. The reproductive and fertility ability of insects is remarkable. In habitat 2, beetles and insectivorous birds were living. If all insectivorous birds and remaining beetles were removed from habitat, two and five hundred additional light tan beetles and 500 dark brown beetles were released in habitat 2. After one more week, one thousand dark brown beetles would be expected to be recaptured in the habitat 2.

All animals share several common characteristics. Which is a characteristic shared by all animals?
kirill [66]

Answer: multi-cellular bodies

Explanation: All animals are multi-cellular. This means that they are made up of many cells/cellular systems. Single-celled organisms, on the other hand, are not considered animals. Those would mostly be too tiny to see without the aid of a microscope tool. The other answer choices would not fit, because not all animals have bones (endoskeletons or exoskeletons). Also, only some animals are cold blooded, which is what the last answer choice has to do with.
