Question

The creature in the photograph is a protist, which is composed of only one cell. This means that a protist A) cannot reproduce. B) is a living organism. Eliminate C) cannot survive in water. D) gets energy directly from sunlight.

Answer 1

B) is a living organism.

Step-by-step explanation:

All living organisms must have 8 treats or characteristics to be called living things:

• cellular organization
• reproduction
• metabolism
• homeostasis
• heredity
• response to stimuli
• growth and development
• adaptation through evolution

These eight characteristics are what make something a living thing, since the protist is made out of a cell, which has all of this characteristics, we can assume is a living organism, the other options could be truth, but we do not have enough information to say if they are or they aren´t true.

Answer 2

The answer to this question would be: B) is a living organism

Protist can reproduce by dividing its cells. The organism also can survive in water. In fact, water was vital for the most organism and water depletion can cause the cell to die. The protist doesn't mean it gets energy directly from sunlight. It was a producer that can produce energy from sunlight.
