plants respond to various stimuli very slowly by growing due to lack of nervous system
There for the answer is C
None of the statements is entirely correct.
A. Animals respire by taking in oxygen and using it to break down food molecules, such as glucose, to release energy. Carbon dioxide is a waste product of respiration, not a raw material.
B. Growth in plants is not necessarily limited after some time. While some plants may eventually reach their maximum size, others may continue to grow throughout their lives.
C. Some plants can respond to stimuli quickly, while others may respond more slowly. For example, the Venus flytrap can close its leaves in a fraction of a second when it detects prey, while other plants may take longer to respond to changes in their environment.
D. While some animals can reproduce as*xually, such as certain types of bacteria or some invertebrates, higher animals, such as mammals, reproduce s*xually.
B. Growth in plants is limited after some time.
Explanation:
A. Animals respire using carbon(iv)oxide as a raw material: This statement is incorrect. Animals respire using oxygen as a raw material, not carbon dioxide. During respiration, oxygen is used to produce energy, and carbon dioxide is one of the waste products that is released.
B. Growth in plants is limited after some time: This statement is correct. Plant growth is limited by various factors such as nutrients, light, and water availability. Once these resources become limited, plant growth will slow down or stop altogether.
C. Most plants respond to stimulus slowly: This statement is incorrect. Plants can respond to stimuli such as light, touch, and gravity, and some of these responses can be quite rapid. For example, the Venus Flytrap can close its leaves in a fraction of a second when it detects prey.
D. Higher animals can reproduce as*xually: This statement is incorrect. Higher animals, such as mammals and birds, reproduce s*xually, which involves the fusion of gametes (man-fluid and egg cells) from two parents to form a zygote. Some lower animals, such as some types of fish and reptiles, can reproduce as*xually, but this is not the case for higher animals.
