Organism: Boundary cases, Organisms at differing levels of biological organisation & Whether criteria exist, or are needed

An organism is any living thing that functions as an individual. Such a definition raises more problems than it solves, not least because the concept of an individual is also difficult. Several criteria, few of which are widely accepted, have been proposed to define what constitutes an organism. Among the most common is that an organism has autonomous…
