Which of the following is not a characteristic of all living organisms? a)energy utilization b)complex yet organized c)capable of self-reproduction d)composed of multiple cells

Lets take a look at all the choices:

A) Energy utilization

All organisms require energy to survive. That question is out for sure!

B) Complex Yet Organized

All living organisms are complex, and if they weren't organized, well, they wouldn't exist or they would have some serious problems!

C) Capable of Self-Reproduction

Simple: Not all organisms are able to reproduce asexually, for example, humans. We do not reproduce asexually. Therefore it is not a characteristic of ALL living organisms

D) Composed of Multiple Cells

No-brainer! All living organisms are composed of multiple cells

Therefore, the answer is C) Capable of Self-Reproduction
