-Produce fertile offspring
-Successfully interbreed
To be considered a living organism, you must be able to grow and develop, maintain homeostasis by regulating internal conditions, respond to stimuli from the environment, and reproduce to pass on genetic information to offspring.
Also known as ecological valence, the degree of adaptation of a living organism to changes in its environment. A species trait, ecological amplitude is expressed quantitatively as the range of environmental changes within which a given species is able to carry on its normal vital activities.
Pioneer species are the first organisms to colonize a previously uninhabited area. These species are able to establish themselves in harsh conditions and pave the way for more complex ecosystems to develop over time. Examples of pioneer species include lichens and certain types of bacteria.
Transgenic
Classifying living organisms helps us understand evolutionary relationships, determine similarities and differences between species, and predict biological characteristics or behaviors. It also aids in organizing biological information for easier study and application in fields such as medicine, conservation, and agriculture.
Reproduction
Species (novanet)
Yes. An organism has to be alive.The organism must be able to/have:1) regulate its temperature2) grow and develop3) metabolism4) respond to stimuli5) reproduce6) evolutionary adaption
The taxon that includes only organisms that can successfully interbreed is called a species. Members of the same species are able to mate and produce viable, fertile offspring.
To be considered a living organism, you must be able to grow and develop, maintain homeostasis by regulating internal conditions, respond to stimuli from the environment, and reproduce to pass on genetic information to offspring.
A living organism needs to be able to grow and develop, use energy, get rid of waste, reproduce, and adapt of changes in an environment.
If an organism's food source disappears, it will likely lead to starvation and eventually death for the organism. Without food, the organism will not be able to obtain the necessary energy and nutrients to survive. This can also disrupt the ecosystem if the organism plays a key role in the food chain.
Yes some things that are radioactive are toxic. Being able to harm an exposed organism.
If two things are able to interbreed, it means that they are of the same species. This can often be determined by whether they produce viable offspring that are also able to reproduce. If offspring are sterile or cannot reproduce, it suggests that the two things are not of the same species and therefore cannot interbreed.
No. It is not necessary for EVERY member of a species to reproduce in order for the species to survive. Consider humans. Some are infertile and can't reproduce, and some choose not to reproduce, yet the human species survives.
There are seven characteristics of living things. An organism must be composed of cells, have different levels of organization, use energy, respond to its environment, grow, reproduce, and be able to adapt to their environment.
