A newly discovered organism exhibits the following: takes in oxygen, releases carbon dioxide, and produces offspring requiring a partner. Based on these observations, which statement CANNOT be determined?
- A. The organism undergoes respiration
- B. The organism reproduces sexually
- C. The organism is heterotrophic
- D. The organism is likely an animal
Answer: C. The organism is heterotrophic
While aerobic respiration and sexual reproduction are confirmed, heterotrophy (requiring external food) cannot be determined without knowing the organism's feeding mechanism; plants also respire and some can reproduce sexually.
