State one reason why organism A and organism C
might be placed into two different classification
groups, even though they are both single celled.

Answer 1

One reason that Organism A and Organism C will be placed in different groups will be due to their MODE OF NUTRITION.

As described in the question, Organism A has an autotrophic mode of nutrition which means that it has the capability to produce its own food. Organism C is a heterotroph which means it cannot produce its own food and hence will have different properties as compared to the organism A.
