Question

1. what are the main characteristics of animals? select all that apply. motile asexual reproduction symmetry heterotrophs

Explanation:

• Motile: Most animals are capable of movement (motile) at some stage of their life.
• Asexual reproduction: While some animals can reproduce asexually, sexual reproduction is more common in animals, so this is not a main characteristic of all animals.
• Symmetry: Many animals exhibit body symmetry (like radial or bilateral symmetry), which is a key characteristic in animal body plans.
• Heterotrophs: Animals are heterotrophic, meaning they obtain food by consuming other organisms as they cannot produce their own food through photosynthesis like plants.

Answer:

• motile
• symmetry
• heterotrophs
