They must move by themselves, metabolize, reproduce, grow and develop, and respond to their environment. Water is very important in organisms as it can act as a solvent, a thermal buffer and is used as a transport medium by complex organisms.
Growth - an irreversible increase in the dry mass of living material. To be classified as a living organism, growth is an essential function.
Reproduction - the ability to form genetically similar individuals (if not genetically identical) by means of sexual or asexual reproduction (or a mixture of the two). Viruses are not classified as organisms as they cannot reproduce on their own, but rely on host cells to reproduce.
Respond to stimuli- the ability to react to environmental conditions. This can vary in complexity - humans have a complex nervous system and endocrine system, whilst plants respond to stimuli by means of plant growth regulators and can display phototropic responses in growing towards light.
Movement - Similar to number 3 in some cases. In animals there is a clear difference, as movement can occur as a result of muscle contraction. In plants, although we would not perhaps say that they 'move' they can grow in response to environmental stimuli, and this is classified as movement.
Nutrition - an organism must 'eat' and this can occur either heterotrophically where organisms gain their food from breaking down organic compounds from producers (i.e when humans eat plants/animals) or autotrophically where the organisms synthesize their own organic compounds (i.e plants which photosynthesise to make organic compounds which can be broken down to produce a respiratory susbstrate)
Excretion - the removal of toxic waste metabolites. In humans we have complex excretory system and have 2 kidneys which filter out urea and other compounds which need to be excreted.
Respiration - the production of ATP from respiration is the final function all living organisms must perform. Respiration can either be aerobic, where oxygen is present, or anaerobic when oxygen is not present. Oxygen is not essential for aerobic respiration, and indeed there are bacteria which are living organisms which do not need oxygen to survive, which live in anaerobic conditions and have evolved mechanisms to respire in the absence of oxygen.
What else can I help you with?
An organism has many specialized cells to carry out the cellular functions it needs to survive what can you determine about this organism?
This organism is likely multicellular, with different types of specialized cells to perform specific tasks required for survival. The presence of specialized cells indicates a higher level of organization and complexity in the organism's structure and function. Specialized cells allow the organism to efficiently carry out various functions necessary for its survival, growth, and reproduction.
What kind of cell has to be able to carry out all the functions necessary for life in order for the organism to survive?
The type of cell that must carry out all the functions necessary for life for an organism to survive is a eukaryotic cell. Eukaryotic cells, which include animal and plant cells, are complex and contain organelles that perform specific functions, such as energy production, waste management, and reproduction. This cellular complexity allows for greater specialization and coordination of biological processes essential for the organism's survival. In unicellular organisms, such as bacteria, prokaryotic cells must also perform all life functions, but they do so with a simpler structure.
What are the singled cell organisms?
The Cell
What is it called when an organism reacts to its surroundings?
It is called a response. Organisms react to their surroundings in order to survive and thrive in their environment.
What basic life processes must all unicellular organism perform in order to survive?
Unicellular organisms must perform several essential life processes to survive, including metabolism, which encompasses all biochemical reactions for energy production and growth. They also need to maintain homeostasis to regulate their internal environment, allowing them to respond to changes in their surroundings. Additionally, unicellular organisms must reproduce to ensure the continuation of their species, typically through processes like binary fission or budding. Lastly, they must be able to take in nutrients and expel waste products to sustain their cellular functions.

Does the organism use energy?
yes it has too in order to survive.
A relationship in which an organism needs something else in order to survive?
yes it does
In order to survive all organism must carry out?
hetetrophic nutrition
What are the singled cell organisms?
The Cell
Distinguish between an autograph and a heterotroph?
An autograph is a persons signature. A heterotroph is an organism that utilises organic molecules in order to grow. An organism that eats other organisms in order to survive.
What word means a relationship in which an organism needs something else in order to survive?
dependancy
What four things is an organism made up of in order for it to survive?
The organism needs food, water, homeostasis (body temperature is healthy) and living space.
Is a tapeworm a predator?
No it is a parasite which needs another organism in order to survive a predator hunts and eats food
What changes an organism that take place over time?
A change in an organism that takes place over time is called an adaptation. An adaptation happens when an organism needs to change in order to survive.
What is it called when an organism reacts to its surroundings?
It is called a response. Organisms react to their surroundings in order to survive and thrive in their environment.
Why is homeostasis for cells as well as for an entire organism?
in order to survive homeostasis has four task to keep you aliveable to obtain
