Pick the most common to all animals are:
D)Ability to produce food
E)Asymmetry
F)Inability to produce food
F) Inability to produce food.
The ability to move from one place to another is called _____.
function
posterior
niche
role
locomotion
Locomotion.
The most common characteristic shared by all animals is the inability to produce food.
To arrive at this answer, we can analyze the given options and eliminate them one by one:
Option D) Ability to produce food: While some animals, such as plants and bacteria, are able to produce their own food through processes like photosynthesis, not all animals possess this ability. Therefore, this option is not universally applicable to all animals.
Option E) Asymmetry: Asymmetry refers to the lack of symmetry in external body features. While many animals do exhibit symmetry, there are also animals with asymmetrical body structures, such as sponges. Therefore, this option does not apply to all animals.
Option F) Inability to produce food: This option aligns with the concept of animals being heterotrophs, which means they depend on other organisms as a source of food. This characteristic holds true for all animals since they are unable to produce their own food like plants and certain types of bacteria.
By process of elimination, we can conclude that the most common characteristic shared by all animals is the inability to produce food (Option F).
