Is yeast living or dead or nonliving?

Yeast is a living organism in the fungal kingdom. It is a single-celled organism that can reproduce and metabolize nutrients.


If a living being has to be able to reproduce have a metabolism etc etc and if only one of these things are missing it's not a living being then what is a Mule A living thing or not?

A mule is considered a living being because it possesses the essential characteristics of life, such as a metabolism and the ability to reproduce. However, mules are sterile and cannot reproduce, which does not exclude them from being classified as living beings based on this single criterion.


Describe the two ways that bacteria reproduce?

Bacteria reproduce asexually through binary fission, where a single cell divides into two identical daughter cells. Bacteria also reproduce sexually through conjugation, where genetic material is transferred between two bacterial cells to promote genetic diversity.


Name two types of reproduction?

There are 2 types of reprodution , those are sexual and asexual reproduction . Sexual reprodution invloves both a male and a female . but asexual reproduction involves just the female ( a good example of this is a plant , some plants do not need others to reproduce ) ! Hope that helps :)


What is the difference between species and organisms?

An organism is an individual living being, while a species is a group of organisms that can reproduce and produce fertile offspring. Organisms refer to a single living entity, while species encompass multiple organisms that share similar characteristics and can interbreed.

Do all living things reproduce asexually?

No, not all living things reproduce asexually. Many organisms reproduce sexually, where genetic material from two parents is combined to produce offspring with genetic diversity. Some organisms also have the ability to reproduce both sexually and asexually, depending on environmental conditions.


What are two ways that protists can reproduce asexually?

Binary fission - single cell divides to produce two offspring Multiple Fission - single cell divides to produce more than two offspring


Can you give examples of organism that reproduce by budding?

Organisms, such as single-celled yeasts, sponges, and hydra can produce offspring by budding.


What living thing reproduces asexualy?

many plants, fungi and bacteria reproduce asexually. It is the primary "method" for single celled organisms. There are also some few fish, amphibians and even birds that are capable of this.

Do all animals have the ability to reproduce asexually?

No, animals either reproduce sexually or asexually. In sexual reproduction, two parents are required and an offspring is born with inherited genes/characteristics of both parents. In asexual reproduction, only one parent is required to produce an offspring and that offspring has all the characteristics of the parent. Humans reproduce sexually, whereas single-celled organisms like amoebas reproduce asexually.


What plant part uses only one parent to reproduce?

Plants that use only one parent to reproduce are called asexual plants. These plants reproduce through methods such as fragmentation, budding, or producing offspring from a single parent plant. Examples include potato tubers and strawberry runners.


What type of reproduction dose a African elephant have?

Elephants reproduce sexually. It takes both a male and a female elephant to produce an offspring one. They cannot simply [example] break off a toe to create one, and thus it's called Sexual Reproduction.


What does evolutionary taxonomy mean?

Evolutionary taxonomy is the classification of using both phylogenetic relationships and evolutionary changes. This type of taxonomy concentrates on all of taxa instead of just a single species.


What process do single-celled organisms use to reproduce?

Most single-celled organisms reproduce through asexual reproduction. Some plants, fungi and bacteria reproduce in this way. In asexual reproduction, the offspring inherit the genes of only one parent.
