Answer
**Question 11:**A. Monosaccharides, amino acids**Explanation:**Carbohydrates are built from simple sugars called monosaccharides (e.g., glucose, fructose). Proteins are built from amino acids linked together by peptide bonds.**Question 12:**D. Decomposition**Explanation:**While decomposition is a process that happens to living organisms after death and is essential for nutrient cycling in ecosystems, it is not a property of life itself. The properties of life generally include:* **Organization:** Living things exhibit a high degree of organization, from molecules to cells to tissues to organs to organ systems to organisms.* **Metabolism:** Living things take in energy and use it to maintain themselves, grow, and reproduce.* **Growth:** Living things increase in size or cell number.* **Adaptation:** Living things evolve over time to better suit their environment.* **Response to stimuli:** Living things react to changes in their environment.* **Reproduction:** Living things create new organisms like themselves.* **Regulation (Homeostasis):** Living things maintain stable internal conditions.
