In at least some form, all organisms are capable of response to stimuli, reproduction, growth and development, and maintenance of homoeostasis as a stable whole. An organism may either be unicellular (single-celled) or be composed of, as in humans, many trillions of cells grouped into specialized tissues and organs. The term multicellular (many-celled) describes any organism made up of more than one cell. The term "organism" (Greek ὀργανισμός - organismos, from Ancient Greek ὄργανον - organon "organ, instrument, tool") first appeared in the English language in 1701 and took on its current definition by 1834 (Oxford English Dictionary). Scientific classification in biology considers organisms synonymous with life on Earth. Based on cell type, organisms may be divided into the prokaryotic and eukaryotic groups. The prokaryotes represent two separate domains, the Bacteria and Archaea. Eukaryotic organisms, with a membrane-bounded cell nucleus, also contain organelles, namely mitochondria and (in plants) plastids, generally considered to be derived from endosymbiotic bacteria. Fungi, animals and plants are examples of species that are eukaryotes. More recently a clade, Neomura, has been proposed, which groups together the Archaea and Eukarya. Neomura is thought to have evolved from Bacteria, more specifically from Actinobacteria. From Wikipedia under the

Also how long can the organism live for? Asked by Stuart T - Fri May 18 06:58:19 2007 - - 21 Answers - 0 Comments A. Here are the top five, but I recall a fungus that was supposed to be older though I cannot find the reference right now. 1.) A huge strand of the sea grass Posidonia oceanica in the Mediterranean Sea could be up to 100,000 years of age. 2.) Pando (tree), this genet has been estimated to be 80,000 years old although some estimates place it as being as old as one million years. 3.) King's Lomatia: The sole surviving clonal colony of this species is estimated to be at least 43,600 years old. 4.).Eucalyptus recurva: clones are claimed to be 13,000 years old 5.) Creosote bush: a ring of bushes in the Mojave desert are estimated at 11,700 years old Answered by Apollo - Fri May 18 07:01:53 2007 What is the name for the host organism in which a cloning vector is placed?
Q. The four choices are plasmid, virus, donor, and transgenic organism. I'm pretty sure it's not a plasmid or virus. Is it a transgenic organism? Also, how has gene therapy been used to treat cystic fibrosis but not cure it? Thanks! Asked by Poop - Tue Mar 31 19:38:06 2009 - - 1 Answers - 0 Comments A. First of all, the cloning vector is the plasmid itself. Second, donor is the cell that is giving the DNA Your answer is Trangenic organism because you are adding foreign DNA to it Answered by *~*kadoo lover*~* - Tue Mar 31 19:44:09 2009 From Yahoo Answer Search: "organism"  examiner.com Sun, 11 Jul 2010 18:35:15 GMT+00:00 Examiner.com In rare circumstances, infection with Salmonella can result in the organism getting into the bloodstream and producing more severe illnesses such as ...  google.com Sat, 10 Jul 2010 00:21:25 GMT+00:00 The Associated Press The organism can cause serious and sometimes fatal infections in young children, frail or elderly people and others with weakened immune systems. ...  sciencedaily.com Fri, 09 Jul 2010 15:13:10 GMT+00:00 Science Daily (press release) Pathogenicity is the ability of a germ to produce an infectious disease in an organism .
