Question

Amoebas are unicellular. The single cell splits in half to form two new cells. A student claims amoebas are alive. Is the student correct?(1 point)
The student is correct; amoebas are alive because they become multicellular.
The student is not correct; amoebas are not alive because they are only made of one cell.

Answer 1

Based on the fact that the single cell of the Amoeba can split in half, the correct answer is The student is correct; amoebas are probably alive because they have reproductive capabilities and create offspring through reproduction.

Why is the student correct about Amoebas?

An organism is considered to be alive due to various reasons and one of them is whether the organism has reproductive capabilities and can therefore reproduce and create offspring.
