  33. Answers to Is it a living organism?

  34. Living things are based on a universal genetic code. Living things grow and develop. Living things respond to their environment. Living things are made up of cells. Living things reproduce Living things maintain a stable internal environment. Living things get and use material and energy. Taken as a group, living things evolve. Characteristics of Living Things

  35. Tree Yes 1

  36. Rock No 2

  37. Slime mold Yes 3

  38. Fire No 4

  39. River No 5

  40. Wind No 6

  41. Rabbit Yes 7

  42. Cloud No 8

  48. Zygote 14 Yes

  49. Spore Spores are part of the life cycle of a diploid organism. They are every bit a living organism as the organism that produces them. Spores are usually haploid and unicellular. Once conditions are favorable, the spore can develop into a new organism which produces gametes. 15 Yes
