19. From the passage in question number 21, Growth cannot be taken as a defining property or feature of living organisms because

  1. all living organisms do not show growth
  2. non living things grow from inside
  3. non living things also grow
  4. some living organisms do not show the process of reproduction

20. From the passage in question number 21, Growth is synonymous with reproduction for which of the following organisms?
