Organizmus

An organizmus is a living being that carries out the processes characteristic of life. It maintains homeostasis, obtains and transforms energy, grows, reproduces, responds to stimuli, and adapts to its environment.

Organizmus shows organization across levels, from molecular components to whole bodies, and depends on the coordination of many subsystems to function. The basic unit of organization is the cell; some organizmus are unicellular, consisting of a single cell, while others are multicellular and composed of many differentiated cells that form tissues, organs, and organ systems.

Based on cellular organization, organizmus are categorized as prokaryotes (lacking a nucleus) or eukaryotes (with a nucleus). In modern taxonomy, organizmus are grouped into three domains: Bacteria, Archaea, and Eukarya.

An organizmus's genetic material is encoded in nucleic acids (DNA in most lineages). Metabolism provides energy and building blocks for growth and maintenance. Organizmus regulate internal conditions through homeostasis and respond to external and internal signals.

Reproduction occurs by asexual or sexual means, enabling the transmission of genetic information to offspring. Through heredity and variation, organizmus evolves over generations.

Organizmus interacts with other living beings and its environment, contributing to energy flow and matter cycling. The study of organizmus spans medicine, agriculture, ecology, and evolutionary biology. Taxonomy classifies organizmus to reflect relationships, often using binomial nomenclature for species.
