Question

retake practice test: characteristics of life the picture below has five organisms. what do they all have in common. select all answers that apply. flowering plant mosquito larva frog (not drawn to scale) green heron aquatic plant only some can reproduce and pass on their traits they are all autotrophs they are all biotic/living things they are all eukaryotic they are not motile (cant move voluntarily) they can all maintain homeostasis

Explanation:

1. All living organisms can reproduce and pass on traits, so the statement "only some can reproduce and pass on their traits" is incorrect.
2. Autotrophs make their own food. Animals like mosquito - larva, frog, and green heron are heterotrophs, so "they are all autotrophs" is wrong.
3. Biotic factors are living things, and all the given organisms (flowering plant, mosquito larva, frog, green heron, aquatic plant) are living, so "they are all biotic/living things" is correct.
4. Eukaryotic organisms have a nucleus - bounded by a membrane. All plants and animals are eukaryotic, so "they are all eukaryotic" is correct.
5. Mosquito larva, frog, and green heron are motile, so "they are not motile (can't move voluntarily)" is incorrect.
6. All living organisms can maintain homeostasis, which is the ability to maintain a stable internal environment, so "they can all maintain homeostasis" is correct.

Answer:

they are all biotic/living things, they are all eukaryotic, they can all maintain homeostasis
