Question

Can organisms grow in environments that do not meet their needs?

(Please be legit about the answer thank you)

Answer 1

In most cases, no.

Step-by-step explanation:

Some basic needs of an organism are an appropriate environment ( E.g. Having water for fishes, be it salty or fresh), have a reasonable temperature and pH value of its surroundings, and having enough food to sustain itself. You can even look at things like air composition.

There's no way an organism that normally lives in slightly alkaline water can survive in water with a pH of 3. Similarly, organisms can't survive in unsuitable temperatures, like how a polar bear can't survive in the desert.

In cases like food, they would die from starvation without appropriate amounts of food.

In essence, an organism is not likely to be able to grow in environments that do not meet their needs.

Some organisms adapt and change over time depending on the organisms, but most of them may die before adulthood.

Answer 2

Yes organism can grow in environments that do not meet their needs but it would be very hard for them to stay alive in that environment since it doesn’t have all the requirements the organism needs to survive.
