Do all things have to move to be alive?

No, not all living things have to move to be considered alive. For example, plants are considered alive but many of them are rooted in one place and do not move. Movement is just one characteristic that some living things possess.


Do the non living things also show movement?

They differ in the method of movement. While living things move by using energy, nonliving things move by water, wind, or any other methods of transportation. Nonliving things cannot utilize energy to move.


What are the seven life processes of living thing?

It is easy to decide whether most objects are living or not. A brick is obviously not living and has never been alive. A dog running around is obviously alive. But what about a leaf that has fallen from a tree? To answer a question like this we need to think about what all living things must do to be alive. All living things must carry out seven processes to stay alive. 1. All living things obtain energy from their food by a process called RESPIRATION. 2. All living things obtain food by a process called NUTRITION. 3. All living things rid themselves of waste materials by a process called EXCRETION. 4. GROWTH is another important function of living things. All living things grow. 5. All living things respond to their environment. They therefore require SENSITIVITY. 6. All living things move. MOVEMENT is an important part of life. 7. All living things get old and die. Replacements are made by the process of REPRODUCTION. Remember it as MRS GREN


Cells are alive but not all living cells are organisms?

All living things are organisms. There is no such thing as a living cell that is not an organism.


Are cells alive?

Yes, cells are living things. 7 factors that define life are: Movement, Excretion (of some kind of waste, such as CO2), Respiration, Reproduction, Irritability (the ability to respond to external stimuli), Nutrition, and Growth. Cells do all these things, which means that they are living things. (Until they die that is.);p;

Do all forces make things move?

All forces make things move only if it is bigger than friction or resistance. In a vacuum (e.g. space), all forces make things move. But this is not reality.


What the difference between death and life?

When you are dead you do not move or breathe, when you are alive you can move, breathe and do many things. well that helps, thanks dumb@$$


Is everything alive?

Anything that is made up of cells is alive. All living things are made of cells. Plants are even alive even though they do not move. They are stationary. Yet, they need food, water, and they reproduce like other living things. Rocks and sticks cannot do this because they are not alive. Although- sticks have come from something that's alive ( tree), they are no longer alive since they are no longer connected to the tree. The study of living things, by the way, is Biology.


Is the Protein alive?

Proteins are not of themselves alive. However, proteins are the building blocks of all living things.

How things like a virus prion and viroid can reproduce but are not considered to be alive?

The virus, prion and viroid don't meet the definition of alive which is:Movement: All living things move in some way.Respiration: Respiration is a chemical reaction that happens within cells to release energy from food.Sensitivity: The ability to detect changes in the environment.Growth: All living things grow.Reproduction: The ability to reproduce and pass genetic information onto their offspring.Excretion: Getting rid of waste.Nutrition: The intake and use of nutrients.All living things do all of these things. Viruses make use of living cells.
