<span><em>Whether living or non living:</em>
<em>When you put a sample of tissue under a microscope, if u can see a cell membrane, and can identify some cell structures like nucleus, mitochondria, vacuoles etc. , it was living, if not, its a non living thing.</em></span>

<span><em>However some cells don't have a nucleus( eg. prokaryotic cells), but all cells have a cell membrane or some sort of protective covering to contain the cell's insides. </em></span>

<span><em>To check if your specimen maybe-once living, maybe-still living "something", is living, get a look at it through an electron microscope - thats the best microscope ever- and see if the mitochondria's making any ATP( adenosine triphosphate, source of energy for most organisms), if it does, its living. If not, no</em></span><em>n living. :)</em>

3. Which is not an example of symbiosis?
S_A_V [24]

Answer:

The correct answer is B. generalism.

Explanation:

Mutualism is a symbiotic relationship wherein both organisms benefit from the other’s presence. Parasitism is a symbiotic relationship wherein one organism benefits at the expense of the other organism, which is harmed. Finally, commensalism is a symbiotic relationship wherein one organism benefits and the other is neither helped nor harmed. Generalism does not refer to a symbiotic relationship and thus is the correct response.

Hope this helps!
