Question

question 1: is the statement true or false? life would cease to exist without energy from the sun or some other source. true false
question 2: which process is the total of all the chemical reactions in an organism? migration respiration metabolism
question 3: some types of aquatic frogs bury themselves in the mud and spend the winter hibernating at the bottom of lakes and ponds. which characteristic of life does this behavior represent?

Explanation:

• For Question 1: Life indeed depends on energy from the sun or other sources for metabolic processes, growth, etc. Without energy, life - sustaining processes would stop.
• For Question 2: Metabolism is the sum of all chemical reactions in an organism, including anabolism (building molecules) and catabolism (breaking down molecules).
• For Question 3: Aquatic frogs hibernating in mud at the bottom of lakes and ponds is an example of dormancy, a characteristic related to the life - history strategy and survival mechanism of the organism.

Answer:

• Question 1: True
• Question 2: metabolism
• Question 3: Dormancy (not listed in options but best characteristic; if we must choose from given aspects of life, it relates to growth and development as it is a phase of reduced activity for survival)
