Amoebas are unicellular. The single cell splits in half to form two new cells. A student claims amoebas are alive. Is the student correct?
1. The student is not correct; amoebas are not alive because two different amoebas are not contributing together to make a new offspring.
2. The student is correct; amoebas are probably alive because they have reproductive capabilities and create offspring through reproduction.
3. The student is not correct; amoebas are not alive because they are only made of one cell.
4. The student is correct; amoebas are alive because they become multicellular.
