Sounds like you're talking about a parasite.
Lichens are the organisms that can change the environment by secreting acids that break down rocks, creating spaces where other organisms can grow.
Organisms grow and develop
No, photosynthetic organisms are called producers because they produce their own food using sunlight in the process of photosynthesis. Consumers are organisms that rely on consuming other organisms for energy.
Lichens are organisms that can cause cracks in rocks by secreting acids that break down the rock surface. This can create new microhabitats for other organisms to grow, leading to changes in the environment.
Organisms that do not use starch as a carbon source can still grow on a starch agar plate by utilizing other nutrients present in the agar, such as proteins or other carbohydrates. These organisms may produce enzymes that break down starch into simpler sugars that they can use for growth. Additionally, some organisms may be able to grow due to the presence of byproducts or secondary metabolites from other organisms present on the plate.
Because they break dead organisms down into basic chemicals which can then be used by other organisms to grow and build their bodies, which can then be eaten by other organisms, thus continuing the food chain.
By definition all organisms grow and reproduce.
The experiments of Redi and Pasteur helped to demonstrate that all organisms come from other organisms. At the time, the prevailing theory was called "Spontaneous Generation" which assumed that organisms simply appeared. Both scientists delt with proving that, in the presence of oxygen, organisms did not grow if they were not exposed to microbe-containing air.
Multicellular organisms grow through a process called mitosis. In mitosis, the cell divides itself in two to make more cells and make more body mass.

Yes, multicellular organisms grow by increasing the number of cells through cell division and cell growth. Growth in multicellular organisms also involves the increase in overall size and development of different tissues and organs.
