Living things get their energy from food
-
True
-
False
Correct Answer
A. TrueExplanation
Living things require energy to carry out their biological processes, such as growth, reproduction, and movement. This energy is obtained from the food they consume. Through the process of digestion, the nutrients in food are broken down and converted into a form that can be used by the body to produce energy. This energy is then utilized by living organisms to perform various functions necessary for their survival. Therefore, it is true that living things get their energy from food.Rate this question:

Which is not a characteristic of life?
-
Homeostasis
-
Flying
-
DNA
-
Reproduction
Correct Answer
A. FlyingExplanation
Flying is not a characteristic of life because not all living organisms have the ability to fly. While some organisms, such as birds and insects, have evolved the ability to fly, many others, such as plants, bacteria, and mammals, do not possess this characteristic. Homeostasis, DNA, and reproduction are all fundamental characteristics of life that are universally present in living organisms.Rate this question:

I don't know
Correct Answer
A. Sexual and AsexualExplanation
The correct answer is sexual and asexual. Sexual reproduction involves the fusion of gametes from two parents, resulting in offspring with genetic variation. Asexual reproduction, on the other hand, involves the production of offspring without the involvement of gametes or the fusion of genetic material, resulting in offspring that are genetically identical to the parent. These two types of reproduction are fundamental processes in the continuation of species and can be found in various organisms across the animal and plant kingdoms.Rate this question:

What are the two types of Cells
-
Eukaryotic and monsterotic
-
Prokaryotic and Eukaryotic
-
Eukaryotic and Unkaryotic
-
All the above
Correct Answer
A. Prokaryotic and EukaryoticExplanation
The correct answer is Prokaryotic and Eukaryotic. Prokaryotic cells are simple, single-celled organisms that lack a nucleus and other membrane-bound organelles. Eukaryotic cells, on the other hand, are more complex, multicellular organisms that have a nucleus and other membrane-bound organelles.Rate this question:

Cats and squirrels can reproduce
-
True
-
False
Correct Answer
A. FalseExplanation
Cats and squirrels cannot reproduce together because they belong to different species and have different genetic makeup. Reproduction can only occur between individuals of the same species.Rate this question:

When an organism responds to stimuli they do the following
-
Run from a dog
-
Put on a coat when cold
-
Goes shopping when you have money
-
Eat when hungry
-
All the above
Correct Answer
A. All the aboveExplanation
The correct answer is "All the above" because all the given actions - running from a dog, putting on a coat when cold, going shopping when you have money, and eating when hungry - are examples of organisms responding to stimuli. These actions demonstrate how organisms react to external factors or internal needs in order to survive, protect themselves, or fulfill their basic requirements.Rate this question:

A species is a group of organisms that can________ with one another.
Correct Answer
BreedExplanation
A species is a group of organisms that can breed with one another. Breeding refers to the process of reproduction within a species, where individuals of the same species mate and produce offspring. This is a fundamental characteristic of a species, as it ensures genetic continuity and the passing on of traits from one generation to the next. By being able to breed, individuals within a species can maintain their genetic identity and continue to evolve and adapt to their environment.Rate this question:
