Is a gray green mold grows over an orange an example of parasitism?

The mold is there because it has a role in which must be played in Nature-to break down organisms. It will take over the orange so it will be overcome by it. In a way it is a form of parasitism. I'm not sure if I would call it parasitism. A parasite usually affects a living organism, if the mold was growing off of a living orange tree then it would be a parasite, but as for an orange? I would consider it more of a decomposer then.


Is a tree an organism?

Any mass of living cells that shares the same genetic code base, and which function together in a system is considered an organism. Yes, it is an eukaryote(cells contain a nucleus), autotroph (makes its own food), and is vascular(a more complicated plant). Not only animals can be organisms. And organism is really any living thing. It has systems, needs energy to grow, and grows and develops. Yes, a tree is an organism.


What do scientists most likely consider as important evidence when classifying an unknown organism?

Scientists most likely consider KNOWN characteristics of KNOWN and named organisms when first classifying an unknown organism. They look for similarities and differences between what is known versus unknown. Major differences exclude known categories; strong similarities include the new organism into a known category. This is how scientists continually build a "family tree" of every organism.


What is an example of multicellular organisms?

Is orange a living thing?

Yes. It is a fruit that grows from a tree, and as we all know, trees are part of the Plantae Kingdom. And as we all know, anything that is classified in a "Kingdom, Phylum, or Species," is living.
