You find a bit of goop on your shoe. Not wanting to harm another living organism you must decide if your shoe-goo (shoe-goo is fun to say) is living or not. Which of the following characters is not shared by all living organisms?
Has mitochondria
Reproduces
Responds to the environment
Grows
Evolves

Has mitochondria

Explanation:

Living organisms are organisms that possess life in them and due to this, they are characterized by certain features or characteristics that makes them different from their non-living counterparts. These characteristics include ability to respire, move, reproduce, respond to stimuli, feed, excrete, grow etc. However, not all of these characteristics are generally shared by all living cells.

According to the options in the question, the possession of mitochondria, which is a cellular organnelle is not a generally shared feature of all living organisms. Mitochondrion is a membrane-bound organnelle that is found only in a group of cells called EUKARYOTIC CELLS. The other type of cell, called Prokaryotic cells do not possess this energy-synthesizing organnelle. The mitochondrion is widely known and called "Power house" because it is the organnelle where cellular respiration that releases energy takes place in EUKARYOTIC CELLS. However, this process of respiration occurs in the cytoplasm of Prokaryotic cells.
