Question

Choose the correct answer from the given statements below:

• A. Cellular organization of the body is not required for metabolism
• B. Non-living organism also shows reproduction
• C. Reproduction is synonymous with the growth in Amoeba
• D. Response of environment on living organism is called Irritability

Hint:

In unicellular organisms like Amoeba, growth and reproduction are closely linked through processes like binary fission.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is C

- Option (1) is incorrect because cellular organization is essential for metabolism in living organisms.
- Option (2) is incorrect because non-living organisms do not show reproduction; only living organisms can reproduce.
- Option (3) is correct because in Amoeba, growth and reproduction are closely related, as the organism divides and grows during the process of binary fission.
- Option (4) is incorrect because irritability is the ability of an organism to respond to stimuli, not the response of the environment.
Thus, the correct answer is "Reproduction is synonymous with the growth in Amoeba."
