Answer:

Energy flows in one direction, and matter cycles through the environment.

Explanation:

• Energy passes on from the producers (plants) up to the final consumer who absorbs it all. When final consumer dies, also energy collapses. So, more energy will be required hence a new cycle begins.

• Matter such as nutrients are taken up from primary consumers to the final consumer. When final consumer dies, its nutrients decompose are reused by the producers hence cycle repeats again.

All organisms must perform life-sustaining metabolic processes in order to survive.

Alik [6]

Explanation:

Unicellular organisms or single celled organisms that are made up only of one cell. Hence the name.
Unicellular organisms are further divided into Prokaryotic and Eukaryotic organisms
Examples of prokaryotic organisms are bacteria and Eukaryotic are protozoa and unicellular algae, however many eukaryotes are multi cellular as well.
These organisms have to carry out life sustaining metabolic processes for their survival.
These processes are metabolism, homeostasis and reproduction. Metabolism is important as it involves conversion of food into energy for cellular processes. Homeostasis for maintaining a constant internal physical and chemical conditions and reproduction is by cell division.
Multi cellular organisms as the name says unlike unicellular organisms consists of more than one cells.
Examples of multi cellular organisms are animals, land plants etc.,
Metabolic process in multi cellular organisms is a broad category of processes happening for these organisms which involves chemical reactions and pathways that happen at organismal state, transporting substances between the cells.

Explain the three different types of RNA.

UkoKoshka [18]

There are three types of RNA involved in protein synthesis: messenger RNA (mRNA), transfer RNA (tRNA), and ribisomal RNA (rRNA). All three of these nucleic acids work together to produce a protein. The mRNA takes the genetic instructions from the nucleus to the cytoplasm, where the ribosomes are located.
