Which of the following do a frog, worm, and pine tree have in common?

Question

A.
They are all eukaryotic organisms that have nuclei in their cells.

B.
They are all prokaryotic organisms that have free DNA in their cells.

C.
They are all autotrophic organisms and make their own food.

D.
They are all heterotrophic organisms that use organic carbon for growth.

Answer 1

The correct answer is:

A. They are all eukaryotic organisms that have nuclei in their cells.

Frogs, worms, and pine trees are all eukaryotic organisms, meaning their cells contain a nucleus and other membrane-bound organelles. Option C is incorrect because pine trees are autotrophic (they make their own food via photosynthesis), while frogs and worms are heterotrophic (they consume other organisms for energy). Option B is incorrect as frogs, worms, and pine trees are not prokaryotic. Option D is also incorrect because, while frogs and worms are heterotrophic, pine trees are not; they are autotrophic.
