Question 1 Report

Yeast is classified as a living organism mainly because it can

Answer Details

Something is classified as living when it carries out the life processes, so yeast counts as a living organism because it can respire, grow and reproduce. Conducting electricity, dissolving in water or reflecting light are ordinary physical behaviours that many non-living substances also show and prove nothing about life. It is the presence of the biological processes, especially respiration, growth and reproduction, that confirms yeast is alive.
