Question

Which of the following does not show evidence of being a living organism?

a. A boolop is observed to replicate its DNA
b. A kozon appears to grow to twice its size over a period of 1 week
c. A dogledon viewed under a microscope appears to be made up of cells
d. A gronkle is found that does not appear to move or reproduce; its energy use per second is found to be 10-12 J/s

Answer 1

Answer: Option B

Explanation:

A living thing can be defined as the organism that can respire, reproduce, ingestion, and many more characters.

The ability to replicate shows that the organism is living. The growth of the organism does not proves that it is a living organism.

Hence, the given statement that Kozon is growing twice its size over a period of week is used as a characteristic feature to show the organism is living.
