Is silex strobilus living if it isn't carbon-based is it enough to have a large molecule that self replicates to be consideder a living organism?
For something to be considered living, it usually needs to exhibit certain characteristics such as metabolism, growth, reproduction, response to stimuli, and homeostasis. While carbon-based molecules are common in living organisms on Earth, the definition of life could be broader and include non-carbon-based life forms. A large self-replicating molecule alone may not be enough to qualify as a living organism without displaying other essential life processes.
How does a large molecule or even a small organism get inside a cell's plasma membrane?
Endocytosis
A large molecule which is the main constituent of chromosomes is reffered to as?
The large molecule that is the main constituent of chromosomes is called DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid). DNA contains the genetic information that determines the characteristics of an organism.
What is the difference between a body and an organism or are the two words interchangeable?
A body is like a solid, large living object, but an organism can be a tiny cell with no body. Basically, a body is an organism, but an organism is not a body.
What is the definition for organ?
A large molecule that contain carbon-hydrogen bonds and are found in living things
What is the definition for organize?
A large molecule that contain carbon-hydrogen bonds and are found in living things
The part of the biosphere that surrounds an organism is its?
The part of the biosphere that surrounds an organism is the environment. The environment can be small or large and has factors which include the light, temperature etc.
What is a molecule with a large molecular mass.?
UHMPE - Ultra High Mass Polyethylene - but most polymers, by definition, have high molecular mass.
How does surface area to volume ratio affects an organism?
If the surface area of the organism is small, then there is no problem with getting all the oxygen needed. If the surface area of the organism is large, therefore a special respiratory surface is needed. An example is lungs, gills. The ratio of surface area to volume in a small organism is greater than the ratio in a large organism.
What is the definition for 'organic macromolecule'?
An organic macromolecule is a large molecule that is primarily composed of carbon atoms and is essential for life processes. These molecules include proteins, nucleic acids, carbohydrates, and lipids. They are essential for maintaining the structure and function of living organisms.
What is a large molecule made of nucleotides?
A large molecule made of nucleotides is called DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) or RNA (ribonucleic acid). These nucleic acids contain long chains of nucleotides, which are the building blocks of genetic information in living organisms.
What is a biosynthesis?
A biosynthesis is a process of synthesis of organic compounds within a living organism, especially the synthesis of large compounds from small ones.
