False
If an organism is alone in a ecosystem it will definitely die. A single organism cannot form an ecosystem as it has to interact with other organisms.
The sex of your organism ofcoures!
An organism is a living thing. It takes nutrients from its surrounding and produces wastes (metabolism). A feather cannot do this. It also can not reproduce itself. These are two main characteristics of an organism.
plants, fungi or animals... all answers are correct:)
False
no.. its basis as a molecular structure (nucleosides) means it cant carry out the functions of growth, reproduction, etc, hence it cannot be classified as an organism!
Virus' are not living - they cannot exist outside a living organism, and therefore cannot be classified in the same way as other organisms
No. Just number of chromosomes cannot indicate whether the organism is a plant or an animal.
True
Yes - organisms must be living things. They can be dead - as in they were once alive, but they cannot be a non-living thing, such as a mineral. All organisms are capable (in some way) of responding to stimulus, growing, reproducing and maintaining homeostasis. Therefore a non-living thing cannot be called an organism.
A dried clay cannot be classified as a rock
Agar deeps are used to see whether an organism requires oxygen to grow. If there is spreading growth only at the bottom of the tube, the organism is an obligate anaerobe (meaning it cannot tolerate oxygen). If there is growth only at the surface of the agar, the organism is an obligate aerobe (it cannot grow without oxygen). And if there is growth all along the point of innoculation, the organism is a facultative anaerobe and can survive either way.
it has no metabolism of its own. it must take over the metabolism of a living cell.

An organism that cannot make its own food is called a heterotroph.
The fittest is the organism that can survive where others cannot dare survive.
