No.

It contains living cells (temporarily), but neither the cells nor the petal fit the definition of an organism: "any complete and entire living thing capable of carrying out all the processes necessary for life."

Technically, the petal as a whole is dead, but the cells within it are more or less still alive for the meantime as they don't die immediately after being plucked. It's like how if you shoot someone in the heart, they're still alive for a moment to a few minutes.

Jason has five equally massed lead fishing weights, each weighing 250 grams. What is the total mass of the five lead fishing wei
algol [13]

Answer:

1250 g=1.25 Kg

Explanation:

We are given that Jason has five fishes of equally massed lead fish weights.

Weigh of each fish =250 grams

We have to find the value of total mass of the five lead fishing weights

Total number of fishes=5

In order to find the total mass we will use unitary method

Total mass is obtained by multiplying the total number of fishes with weight of one fish

Total mass=5\times 250

Total mass of five fishes=1250 g

1 kg =1000g

Then 1250 g=\frac{1250}{1000}=1.25 Kg

Hence, total mass of five lead fishing weights=1250 g=1.25 Kg
