Which of the following characteristics is shared by an ash tree, a cat, yeast, and an amoeba? a) They break down glucose during the production of ATP.
b) They develop a cell plate during mitosis.
c) They have chitin in their cell walls.
d) They have 19 pairs of chromosomes in each cell.

a) They break down glucose during the production of ATP.

Explanation:

This question is making a comparison of the life processes of the following organisms: ash tree (plant), cat (animal), yeast (fungus), amoeba (protist). As observed, these four organisms belong to four different kingdoms, hence, will have distinct features/characteristics.

For example,

- Only plants like the ash tree develop a cell plate when it is about to divide into two during the process of mitosis.

- Only members of the fungi kingdom contains CHITIN in their cell wall

- Different species of organisms contains its own unique number of chromosome in its cell. Hence, different species cannot all have 19 pairs of chromosomes in their respective cells.

However, all cells of living organisms undergo the process of cellular respiration, which they use to obtain energy (ATP) by breaking down glucose (from their food).

this website is for anybody really not just for girls just saying, also while a lot of males are mean and you know there are the few who are kind and then there's the nice-guys but then theirs also guys like me who are shy we don't get out much because there are people like you who exist who would most likely punch a guy in the face so next time just think about things before you post them to a website where guys and girls can see your question.

b. the carbon cycle ensures living things have a source of hydrogen
