Question

9 multiple choice 1 point which characteristic of life involves the ability of an organism to react to its environment? homeostasis response to stimuli reproduction growth and development 10 multiple choice 1 point what is the process by which an organism becomes better suited to its environment over successive generations? growth reproduction evolution adaptation 11 multiple choice 1 point which characteristic of life involves an increase in the number of cells in an organism? reproduction growth metabolism response to stimuli

Explanation:

• For question 9, response to stimuli is the ability of an organism to react to its environment. Homeostasis is maintaining internal stability, reproduction is producing offspring, and growth - and development is about physical changes over time.
• For question 10, adaptation is the process by which an organism becomes better suited to its environment over successive generations. Growth is an increase in size or number of cells, reproduction is making new individuals, and evolution is the change in the genetic composition of a population over time.
• For question 11, growth involves an increase in the number of cells in an organism. Reproduction is about making new organisms, metabolism is the set of life - sustaining chemical reactions, and response to stimuli is reacting to the environment.

Answer:

1. B. Response to stimuli
2. D. Adaptation
3. B. Growth
