  • Herbivores are organisms that take in only plants.
  • Asexual reproduction is the process by which one organism self-reproduces, occurring when offspring are produced without the union of male and female gametes.
  • Asexual reproduction is commonly exhibited among lower forms of animals.
  • Asexual reproduction can also be done with a little help from humans, a practice known as artificial plant propagation.
  • Vegetative reproduction involves a plant part being used to reproduce another plant.
  • Spore formation involves the production of spores, which are specialized asexual reproductive cells.
  • Fission is a process where an organism divides into two, after which each half grows into a new organism.
  • Budding is a process where a parent organism produces offspring by growing a tiny replica of itself, in a form of an outgrowth called a bud, on some parts of its body.
  • Fragmentation is a process where an organism is produced from the detached body part of its parent.
  • There are two types of autotrophs: photoautotrophic and chemoautotrophic.
  • Nutrition is the process of providing or obtaining food necessary for health, survival and growth of an organism.
  • There are three types of heterotrophs: saprophytic, parasitic, and holozoic.
  • Planaria is an organism that undergoes fragmentation.
  • Sexual selection is a process where some male species compete with other males to copulate with females.
  • Plants use their physical characteristics to attract pollinators.
  • Plants and animals use color display for reproduction.
