Question

Some organisms are made of single cells and live in the hot acidic environment of deep ocean vents.

Answer 1

Answer:

All organisms are composed of cells that share a structural organization and play roles in similar biological processes.

Explanation:

All living organisms can be grouped in terms of cellular organization, functioning, and structure. These features enable us to define them as “subjects” of life. Organisms share basic biological mechanisms such as, among others, growth, homeostasis, development, energy processing, reproduction, etc. Moreover, life is also defined by the presence of essential biomolecules such as DNA, RNA, proteins and lipids. Finally, the cell is considered to be the basic unit of every life form, and organisms may be formed by one (unicellular) or more cells (multicellular). The fundamental feature of the cell is the presence of a membrane that separates it from the external environment, thereby defining its internal environment.
