Answer :
The following that is NOT a characteristics that all living things share is A. A) cellular organization. Many single celled organisms don't have cellular organizations.
A cellular organization is the characteristics that not all living things share. This is because most of the unicellular organisms don’t have cellular organization.
The part of cell and how these individual parts are arranged within the cell makes up the cellular organization.
Further Explanation
Cell is the basic unit of life and it has two types.
- Prokaryotic cells (bacteria)
- Eukaryotic cells (protozoa, fungi, plants, animals, algae)
Prokaryotic cells are cells with smaller sizes with a greater surface to volume ratio, which implies that nutrients can get to any part within the cell interior easily. Prokaryotic cells does not have nucleus. They are unicellular (single cell organisms) and they include bacteria and archaea. However, archaea lives in environments that are extreme.
Eukaryotic cells are cells with larger sizes, which means lesser-surface to volume ration and there is no easy or rapid diffuse of nutrients. In eukaryotic cells, a specialized internal organelles put together in an organized manner is required to metabolism to take place, to generate energy and moves chemical within the cell. Eukaryotic also refers to organism that has eukaryotic cell. Cells shapes and sizes vary.
The Basic cellular components of cells include:
- Plasma membrane: refers to the cell membrane that separate the cell inferior from its surrounding environment. It is made up of proteins, carbohydrates and phospholipid bilayer.
- Cytoplasm: it includes all the components within the plasma apart from the nucleus.
- DNA: called deoxyribonucleic acid. It is the genetic material. Eukaryotic cells have many DNA molecules. They are located in the nucleus and mitochondria. A prokaryotic cell has a single DNA molecule and it has no boundary with the cytoplasm.
- Ribosomes: it refers to the sites where proteins are synthesized.
