Explanation / Answer

1 ans-C-Defense

secondery metabolites like Alkaloids,medicinal Alkaloids,Terpenoids act as potent nerve poisons, enzyme inhibitors, or membrane transport inhibitors.

2 ans-development of the opposable thumb.

usually associated with Homo habilis

3 ans-body hair or fur, and milk production.

Mammals feed their children by mammry glands, found body hair or fur because they are earm blooded and to maintain the body temperature they need fur.

4 ans-forms of chlorophyll more efficient at capturing light
