Example Question #1 : Determine If An Object Is Living Or Non Living And Whether It Is Unicellular Or Multicellular
Which of these objects is NOT an organism?
a rock
a tree
a flower
a dog
a rock
The answer is "a rock"
Organisms are living things. Living things have the ability to reproduce, grow, and breathe. They are made of cells. Unicellular organisms like paramecium are made of one single cell while multicellular organisms like trees are made of many. Nonliving things are not made of cells. A rock is an example of a non-living thing.
You may be wondering whether wood is a "living thing" since it can no longer reproduce once separated from a tree. Think of it like dead skin. It is made of cells, and used to be part of a living thing, but is no longer a growing, breathing organism itself.
Example Question #21 : Middle School Life Science
Which of these is an example of an organism?
mountains
water
a rock
a tree
a tree
The answer is a "tree."

Example Question #22 : Middle School Life Science
This image shows a microscopic creature that is similar to a mite. It is made of more than one cell and can reproduce. This means that the creature is:
a non living organism
a bacteria
a unicellular organism
a multicellular organism
a multicellular organism
The answer is "a multicellular organism."
Organisms are living things. Living things have the ability to reproduce, grow, and breathe. They are made of cells. Unicellular organisms like paramecium are made of one single cell while multicellular organisms like trees are made of many. Non-living things are not made of cells. A rock is an example of a non-living thing. Living parts of environments are considered “biotic factors,” and nonliving parts of environments are considered “abiotic factors.”

Example Question #23 : Middle School Life Science
If you look closely at this paramecium, you can see it has a cell membrane, and many organelles. Paramecium also feed on other things like it. This means a paramecium is a:
a nonliving single cell
a multicellular nonliving germ
a unicellular organism
a multicellular organism
a unicellular organism
The answer is a unicellular organism.

Example Question #24 : Middle School Life Science
A human heart is an example of:
a single cell
a group of cells
none of these
a living organism
a group of cells
The answer is a group of cells. It is not an organism because a heart can not reproduce on its own.

Example Question #25 : Middle School Life Science
Which of these resources is abiotic?
iron ore
a waterfall
both of these
none of these
both of these
The answer is both of these.

Which of these is a biotic factor in an environment?
water
fallen tree branches
soil
grass
grass
The answer is grass.

Example Question #27 : Middle School Life Science
Which of these are you most likely to see on the inside of a unicellular organism?
organs
cells
organelles
a digestive system like a humans
organelles
The answer is organelles because cells are composed of smaller parts called organelles.

Example Question #28 : Middle School Life Science
You look inside an organism and you see a single cell wall, a few chloroplasts, and a food vacuole. Based on this description, this organism is probably:
an animal-like unicellular organism
a plant-like unicellular organism
a plant
an animal
a plant-like unicellular organism
The answer is a plant-like unicellular organism, because it has the features of a plant and is made of only one cell.

Example Question #29 : Middle School Life Science
After wood is removed from a tree, is it still a living thing?
Yes, it is still living because it's still made of cells.
No, it is no longer living because it cannot grow, reproduce, or respirate.
Yes, it's still living because even though it's dead, it was once living.
No, it is no longer living because it has no more cells.
No, it is no longer living because it cannot grow, reproduce, or respirate.
The answer is "No, it is no longer living because it cannot grow, reproduce, or respirate."
