Is It a Living Organism?
• The following slides show 30 examples of living and nonliving things.
• Based on the characteristics of life your group came
up with, decide if each example represents a living organism.
• If the object shown is a living organism, write “Yes.” • If the object shown is nonliving, write “No.”

Spore
Yes
Spores are usually haploid and
unicellular. Once conditions are
favorable, the spore can develop into a
new organism which produces
gametes.
Spores are part of the life cycle of a diploid organism.
They are every bit a living organism as the organism that produces them.

Potato
Yes
One potato can yield many plants. Just cut it into pieces so that each piece contains a bud.
Place a potato piece cut-side down in a hole, cover it with dirt and
apply water. In time, a potato plant will grow.

Many leaves can be cut at the stem and placed back into soil to grow new roots.
This is known as propagation. In

There is evidence that the ancestor of
chloroplasts was once a free-living
cyanobacterium that formed a symbiotic

Virus
No
Although viruses have genes and can evolve,
they do not have a cellular structure.
In addition, viruses do not have their own
metabolism, and require a host cell to make new
products.29

Mitochondria
No
There is evidence that the ancestor of
mitochondria was once a free-living
bacterium that formed a symbiotic
relationship with another cell. This
merger is believed to have happened about 2.5 billion years ago.
