Question

If an organism does not have its own means of locomotion and it produces new cells out of inorganic materials through the photosynthetic process, it is:

A plant


An animal


Either a plant or animal

Answer 1

Answer: The correct answer is-

A plant.

Organisms belonging to kingdom Plantae do not have their own means of locomotion and they produce their own food through photosynthesis ( by using inorganic materials such as carbon dioxide and water).

On the contrary, animals have their own means of locomotion and eat other organisms in order to obtain nutrients, which are required to produce new cells.

Thus, a plant is the right answer.

Answer 2

Either a plant or animal, however, energy is needed for this certain organisms to function. Hence, the role of energy in the living organism is very important and vital to the survival of the biotic community in which it lets them function in daily activities
