Question

1. what adaptation do humans have that allows them to live in most all environments? a. large head b. walks upright c. large brain and walks upright and has opposable thumbs. 16. bacteria reproduce using only one parent which would be categorized as a. sexual reproduction b. asexual reproduction c. budding 17. all animals that are vertebrates reproduce a. asexually b. binary fission c. sexually 18. if you touch something hot and remove your hand what characteristic would you be displaying? a. adapting to change b. homeostasis c. responding to stimuli 19. what do people use to respond to environmental stimuli? a. their senses b. space c. people do not respond to stimuli 20. what organelle converts food into energy? a. cell b. autotrophs c. mitochondria

Explanation:

1. Humans' large brain allows for complex problem - solving and adaptation, walking upright frees hands for manipulation, and opposable thumbs enable precision in using tools, all of which help in living in various environments.
2. Asexual reproduction involves only one parent. Bacteria commonly reproduce asexually. Budding is a type of asexual reproduction but not the most general term for bacterial one - parent reproduction.
3. Vertebrates are animals with a backbone and they typically reproduce sexually. Asexual reproduction is less common in vertebrates and binary fission is mainly seen in single - celled organisms.
4. Touching something hot and removing the hand is a response to the heat stimulus. Homeostasis is about maintaining a stable internal environment and adapting to change is a more long - term process.
5. People use their senses (sight, hearing, touch, taste, smell) to detect and respond to environmental stimuli. Space is not a means of responding to stimuli and it is incorrect to say people do not respond to stimuli.
6. Mitochondria are the power - houses of the cell and convert food into energy in the form of ATP. A cell is a general structure and autotrophs are organisms that can make their own food, not an organelle for energy conversion.

1. C. Large brain and walks upright and has opposable thumbs
