br br br br br br br br br br br br br br br
dpole into an adult frog. br br br br

br br br br br br br br br br br br br br br br
enario exemplifies a characteristic feature of living organisms?
br br br br br br br
A) Photosynthetic bacteria meet the energy requirement, as they are able to convert energy fr br br br br br br br br br br br br br
om sunlight into the chemical energy they store in sugars.
br br br br br br br br br
, B) As humans, we meet the cell requirement because even though we are made of tissues a
br br br br br br br br br br br br br br br
nd organs, all of those components are made of specialized types of cells.
br br br br br br br br br br br br
C) English bulldogs would meet both the information and ability to replicate requirements b
br br br br br br br br br br br br
ecause when they have a litter of puppies, we would expect the progeny to be English bu
br br br br br br br br br br br br br br br br
lldogs due to their DNA from the parents. br br br br br br br
D) Monarch butterflies meet the evolution requirement because each of them will look diffe
br br br br br br br br br br br br
rent as adults (butterflies) than they do as juveniles (caterpillars) which demonstrate their a
br br br br br br br br br br br br br
bility to change over time. br br br br

8) Algae in the genus Caulerpa typically grow to a length of over half a meter and have structure sim
br br br br br br br br br br br br br br br br br br
ilar to stems, leaves, and roots. Reproduction occurs when adults produce sperm and eggs that f
br br br br br br br br br br br br br br br
use to form offspring. Each adult Caulerpa consists of just a single cell, however. Which of the f
br br br br br br br br br br br br br br br br br
ollowing statements is TRUE? br br br
A) Caulerpa violate the pattern component of the cell theory that all organisms consist of c
br br br br br br br br br br br br br br
ells.
B) Caulerpa violate the process component of the cell theory that all cells come from p
br br br br br br br br br br br br br br
reexisting cells. br
