A

The movement of the leaves of the plants in order to search for and absorb light energy.

15
Q

What is geotropism

A

A

Bacteria and single-celled creatures increase in size. Many-celled organisms increase the number of cells in their bodies

18
Q

What is the difference between how single - celled organisms and multicellular organisms reproduce

A

Multiceullar organisms make offspring by using the process of production. Single-celled organisms and bacteria simply keep dividing into two
