I1. ANSWNER THE FOLLOWING

1. What are the different types of


reproduction in living organisms?
The two main types of reproduction are
asexual and sexual reproduction. Asexual
reproduction involves a single parent and produces offspring genetically identical to the
parent, while sexual reproduction involves two parents and
produces genetically diverse
offspring.
2. How do living organisms respond to their
environment?
Living organisms respond to their environment through
various mechanisms such as
movement, growth toward stimuli (like plants growing towards light), and
changes in animals to avoid predators orfind food. behavioural
3. What is the importance of
cellular organization in living creatures?
Cellular organization ensures that living organisms have a
carrv out life processes. Cells are the basic structured and efficient wayto
building blocks, and
tissues, organs, and systems allows for complex functions and their organization into
survival.
