they need oxygen to survive.
they are made up of many parts.

question 6
all living things are composed of ______.
hormones
organized tissues
cells
organ systems

Explanation:

Analyze Question 5

Using the Cellular Composition knowledge point

• All living organisms share certain fundamental characteristics, including the use of DNA as their genetic material to store and transmit hereditary information.
• Mitosis is specific to eukaryotic cell division; prokaryotes reproduce via binary fission.
• Many anaerobic organisms do not require oxygen to survive.
• Unicellular organisms consist of only a single cell, not many parts.
• Therefore, the shared characteristic is that they contain DNA.

Analyze Question 6

Using the Cell Theory knowledge point

• A core tenet of cell theory states that all living things are composed of one or more cells.
• Hormones, organized tissues, and organ systems are not present in all living things (for example, unicellular organisms lack tissues and organ systems).
• Therefore, all living things are composed of cells.
