2. What structures or abilities are essential to the success of organisms who do not use
aev [14]

Answer:

Ability to perform locomotion with their legs

Explanation:

Plants and animals are two distinct species of organisms. Plants are capable of using photosynthesis to obtain their food due to the unique structures that can capture light energy in their cells (autotrophic). Animals, on the other hand, are heterotrophic i.e. cannot perform photosynthesis and therefore, rely on other organisms for food.

Since animals depends on eating other organisms to obtain food/energy, their possession of LEGS or ability to LOCOMOTE is very instrumental to their success as non-photosynthetic or heterotrophic organisms. This enables them leave one position in search for food and resources

Which answer helps to explain why all living cells need ph buffers?
defon

Answer;

Amino acid side chains have many carboxyl and amino groups.

Explanation;

-A buffer solution is a solution that resists changes in pH when small quantities of an acid or an alkali are added to it. It is a chemical substance that helps maintain a relatively constant pH in a solution, even in the face of addition of acids or bases.

-Buffering is important in living systems as a means of maintaining a fairly constant internal environment, also known as homeostasis.Small molecules such as bicarbonate and phosphate provide buffering capacity as do other substances, such as hemoglobin and other proteins.

- Protein buffer systems depend upon proteins, as opposed to nonprotein molecules, to act as buffers and consume small amounts of acid or base. Since amino acids have the capability of reacting with both acid and base, they naturally act as buffers.

How does an animal’s level of fitness relate to its chances of survival and reproduction?
Mademuasel [1]
An animal that is healthier will have a better chance of survival due to better strength, and also be better suited to winning a mate. Animals that are weak or sick are most likely to die off or be killed by a predator or natural reasons, if this animal survives, it will most likely not get a mate because the mate will not be attracted to the sickened animal, considering how most animals search for a healthy mate to reproduce with. (Usually there is some type of court ship dance or song of some sort, and it is usually the more healthy animal that is able to "perform" the best dance/song for the mate it is trying to win over) Hope that this helped!
