Question

for multicellular organisms, growth refers to an increase in an organism’s size as the number of cells making up the organism increases. which of these are not capable of growth?
○ stones
○ seeds
○ bacteria
○ caterpillars

Explanation:

Stones are non-living objects and lack cells, so they cannot undergo growth (which requires an increase in cell number/size). Seeds (develop into plants), bacteria (unicellular growth/division), and caterpillars (multicellular growth) are living and capable of growth.

Answer:

stones
