Question

All living things perform the action of
A. Eating
B. Growing
C. Breathing
D. All of the above

Answer 1

Hint:-All living organisms are different from one another, yet have two things in common: they are all descended from a single ancient ancestor, and they are all alive. All living being are classified into multicellular or unicellular organisms. All living organisms are different from one another, yet have two things in common: they are all descended from a single ancient ancestor, and they are all alive.

Complete Answer:-
All living things have certain basic needs. The most fundamental need of living things is water; without this vital resource, life couldn't exist. Water is required for several chemical reactions that happen in cells. It also helps transport nutrients and eliminates waste. Some organisms, like animals and protozoa, get nutrients from ingesting food. Plants and algae make their own food through the process of photosynthesis. Fungi get nutrients by breaking down and absorbing decaying organic materials.
There are seven key functions, or processes, necessary for all times. To be categorized as a living thing, an organism must be able to do all of these.

MOVEMENT: Living things have the power to maneuver in how without outside help. The movement may contain the flow of fabric within the organism or external movement of the organism or parts of the organism.

SENSITIVITY: Living things respond to conditions around them. For example, green plants grow toward sunshine, certain microorganisms shrink into tiny balls when something touches them and citizenry blink when light shines into their eyes.

RESPIRATION: All living organisms must be capable of releasing energy stored in food molecules through a chemical process known as cellular respiration. In aerobic respiration, oxygen is taken up and carbon dioxide is given off. In single-celled organisms, the exchange of those gases with the environment occurs across the organism’s cellular membrane. In multicellular organisms, the exchange of the gases with the environment is slightly more complex and typically involves some sort of organ specially adapted for this purpose. Large multicellular animals like birds and mammals must inhale oxygen, which travels to the lungs and is transferred to the blood flow of the body’s arteries.

NUTRITION: Living things require energy in order to survive. The energy is derived from nutrients, or food. Green plants, algae, and certain archaea and bacteria can make food from water and carbon dioxide via photosynthesis. Plants called legumes can make proteins by taking over nitrogen provided by bacteria that sleep in nodules within the plant’s roots. Animals, fungi, protozoa, and many archaea and bacteria need to get food from an outside source. They do this in different ways, all of which depend on what physical adaptations the organism has. Some animals like mammals bite into their food with teeth; certain insects suck up nectar from flowers. Many species of protozoa and bacteria absorb nutrients through membranes that cover their bodies.

GROWTH: Living things grow by making new parts and materials and changing old ones. This happens when a seed grows into a plant or a chick matures into a hen. As human beings grow, they add new structures, such as teeth, and change the proportions of others.


EXCRETION: All living organisms create waste products via the processes of living. Much waste comes from food. The rest is produced by movement, growth, and other functions of living. If this waste remained in living things, it might soon cause illness and death. Thus living things must have how to eliminate waste. The process that removes waste products from the body is named excretion.

Therefore, the correct option is d, all of the above.

Note:- Cells are the building blocks of the living world. Living things as diverse as bacteria, archaea, algae, fungi, protozoans, animals, and plants all consist of one or more cells. Cells are made from components that help living things to eat, respire, excrete wastes, and perform all of the required functions of life. The components are organized, which suggests that they fit and work together. For this reason, living things are called organisms.
