Xavier Nguyen · Answer 1

The correct answers are that it lacks cells, DNA, and cannot maintain homeostasis. It doesn't have any organic matter and homeostasis is impossible because it would turn off eventually. It doens't have DNA and it doesn't reproduce. It's just plasma and it is not a living being, it just moves because of the chemical reactions that occur.
