Select 4 that apply.
The four characteristics that are common to all animals are:
Ability to produce food
Mobility
Multi-cellular structure
Inability to produce food
Symmetry
Asymmetry
Mobility
Multi-cellular structure
Inability to produce food
Symmetry
Bilateral
A)the front side; toward the front
B)two-sided
C)the back side; toward the back (or top)
D)the ability to move from place to place
E)the rear; toward the rear
B) two-sided
To determine the four characteristics that apply, we need to review each option and identify which ones are common to all animals.
1. Ability to produce food: This characteristic is not common to all animals because many animals rely on consuming organic matter rather than producing their own food.
2. Mobility: This characteristic is not universal to all animals, as some animals, such as sponges, are sessile and lack the ability to move.
3. Multi-cellular structure: This characteristic is common to all animals. All animals are made up of multiple cells.
4. Inability to produce food: This characteristic is not common to all animals, as some animals, such as plants, are capable of producing their own food through processes like photosynthesis.
5. Symmetry: This characteristic is not universal to all animals, as some animals, like sponges, exhibit asymmetry.
6. Asymmetry: This characteristic is not common to all animals, as many animals exhibit symmetry in their body structure.
Based on the analysis, the four characteristics that apply to all animals are:
1. Multi-cellular structure: All animals are made up of multiple cells.
2. Inability to produce food: Animals rely on consuming organic matter rather than producing their own food.
3. Symmetry: Many animals exhibit some form of symmetry in their body structure.
4. Asymmetry: Some animals exhibit asymmetry in their body structure.
