Answer:
These are the seven characteristics of living organisms;
1 Nutrition. Living things take in materials from their surroundings that they use for growth or to provide energy. ...
2 Respiration. ...
3 Movement. ...
4 Excretion. ...
5 Growth.
6 Reproduction. ...
7 Sensitivity.
Explanation:
2. Organism are classified foe easy identification.
3.classification of living things includes 7 levels:
kingdom
Phylum
Classes,
Order
Families
Genus
Species .
4.Organisms are classified into domains according to their characteristics features,habitat and mode of nutrition/ adaptation.
5.These organisms are classified together because they are made up of eukaryotic cells. Characteristics like structure, function, and method of reproduction further classify the organisms into smaller groups called kingdoms. The three domains are further divided into six Kingdoms.
6.Every recognized species on earth (at least in theory) is given a two-part scientific name. This system is called "binomial nomenclature." These names are important because they allow people throughout the world to communicate unambiguously about animal species.
I will answer the question accordingly so that it help you under stand it better.
Question A.
During an extreme heat wave, plants with white flowers survive better.
What mechanism is in work here?
Answer: Mechanism of Natural Selection
will work here. This is called survival of the fittest which means the best color which fits in harsh conditions will dominate over others and will survive for longer time.
What is the effect on the gene pool?
Answer: The Frequency of white allele will increases
because white color is the best fit to extreme heat wave.
Question B.
A person uproots the five closest plants, which all happen to have white flowers.
What mechanism is in work here?
Answer: The mechanism of gene flow will work here as color of flower represents genotype of flower.
What is the effect on the gene pool?
Answer: The Frequency of white allele will increases because genotype of white flowers is increased.
Diffusion, osmosis, and facilitated diffusion.
In the field of histopathology, the tissues to be observed under the microscope are cut in very thin slices. The thin slices make the tissue transparent, and thus, it becomes easier to observe the internal structures and accurately diagnose a disease. The tissues slices cut for the observation are generally not more than 3 micro meters in their thickness.
Hence, the answer is 'to make the tissues transparent and easier to observe'.
