•examples of how living things can differ :-
1. On the basis of cellular structure, whether they are unicellular or multicellular.
2. On the basis of mode of nutrition, whether they are autotrophic, heterothropic, parasitic or saprophytic.
3.On the basis of well defined nucleus, whether they are prokaryotic or eukaryotic.
•processes that all living things have in common :-
Movement
All living things move in some way. This may be obvious, such as
animals that are able to walk, or less obvious, such as plants that
have parts that move to track the movement of the sun.
Earthworms use circular and longitudinal muscles to move through
soil or along surfaces.
Respiration
Respiration is a chemical reaction that happens within cells to
release energy from food.
The food that earthworms eat supplies their body with energy-rich
molecules such as glucose. On entering the cells of their body,
these molecules are broken down in a series of steps to release
energy to be used by the body, producing carbon dioxide and water
as waste products.
Sensitivity
The ability to detect changes in the surrounding environment.
Earthworms have light-sensitive cells scattered in their outer
skin. Their skin cells are also sensitive to touch and
chemicals.
Growth
All living things grow.
Earthworms hatch from eggs and can grow up to a metre or more in
length! Some earthworms are also able to regrow small parts of
their body that have been lost or injured.
Reproduction
The ability to reproduce and pass genetic information onto their
offspring.
Earthworms have both sperm and eggs within their bodies (they are
hermaphrodites) but they cannot self-fertilise and need to mate
with another individual. After mating, a cocoon containing the
fertilised eggs is deposited in the soil.
Nutrition
The intake and use of nutrients. This occurs in very different ways
in different kinds of living things.
Earthworm nutrition comes from a variety of sources, depending on
their species. Food types include manure, compost, plant material,
fungi, microorganisms and decaying animals. They take in food
through their mouths.

Describe at least two major vascular plant taxa without seeds and explain why seedless nonvascular plants are a paraphyletic group. Draw a phylogeny to illustrate your arguments.

Give at least one specific example. 4. How has the excessive use of antibiotics resulted in a major global problem? 5. How are plants and animals dependent on each other?

1) please list out three things that prokaryotes LACK that eukayotes POSSESS. Dont list out three organells. Organelles count as 1. Think chaeacterstics and other cellular structures. 2) please list three things that prokaryotes and eukaryotes have IN COMMON(share) eith each other. 3) Please list two things that prokaryotes and eukaryotes can SOMETIMES share but NOT ALWAYS. Note: please do not list things at the atomic level. keep the list at the molecular level. Thank you!
Describe the five characteristics of life, and list several nonliving things that possess at least two of these characteristics. Explain how an atom relates to the biosphere by describing the levels of organization. Why is a cell, and not an atom or a molecule, considered the basic unit of life? Draw and explain the relationship between producers and consumers (including decomposers). How does a homes’ air conditioning system illustrate homeostasis? Describe the main differences between asexual and sexual reproduction. Why...
How do epigenetic traits differ from traditional genetic traits, such as the differences in color and shape of peas that Mendel studied? A) Phenotype is stably inherited by offspring. B) Phenotype is not transmitted to offspring. C) New phenotype involves changes to the DNA sequence. D) New phenotype is caused by modifications to chromatin. E) Phenotype can be influenced by environmental factors.

the biological concept of unity and diversity can be illustrated by comparing and contrasting fungi protists and plants your task is to provide two specific examples of unity across all three of the Kingdom how I.e (how they are all united) and 2 specific examples of diversity (i.e what things differ between them) your response to be detailed and focused on traits involved in reproduction modes of nutrition, structure. Be sure to include examples of organisms from each kingdom in...
