Which of these objects is NOT an organism?
Which of these objects is NOT an organism?
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.

Which of these organisms uses energy from the sun to make its own food?
Which of these organisms uses energy from the sun to make its own food?
The answer is both of these.
Photosynthesis is the process where plants use energy from the sun to create their own food. This is why plants are referred to as producers. In the process of photosynthesis, the energy from sunlight, carbon dioxide, and water are converted into sugar and oxygen through chemical reactions in plant cells. Animals do not produce their own energy, but have to eat plants or other animals to stay alive. Animals breathe in the oxygen created by photosynthesis and exhale carbon dioxide as a product through their own process called cellular respiration.
