Characteristics of a living or nonliving object?
Living Organisms are Conscious, non-living are not.Living can reproduce, non living cannot.Living can metabolize organic materials and grow, non-living cannot.Living organisms can move on themselves, non-living cannot.Living react to external environment (both biotic and abiotic), non-living cannot.There can be so many. These are the top 5.
What are the key properties of life?
Life is defined by seven key properties of life: 1.Order (organization) Living organisms are highly complex and ordered. 2.Homeostasis (balance) Living organisms maintain internal balance. 3.Sensitiveness (responsiveness) Living organisms respond to their environment 4.Growth, development, reproduction: Living organisms have the ability to grow and reproduce. 5.Use of energy and materials : Living organisms obtain and use energy. For instance, plants have chloroplasts that uses energy to produce sugar. 6.Cells: Living organisms are composed of cells which are the smallest unit of life. 7. Evolution(change over time at population) Living organisms allow evolutionary adaptation. We use these seven characteristics of life because life is hard to define. If you want to fully understand the functions of these properties, you can search them on google or wikipedia.
What are the 5 elements that make up the molecule in living organisms?
Nitrogen, Carbon, Oxygen, Hydrogen... and I'm not sure of the 5th one =/
What are three ways to compare organisms?
1. All organisms are made of cells 2. The chemical composition of all living things is remarkably similar 3. All living things require energy 4. Organisms can grow and reproduce 5. All living things reproduce or produce more of their own kind
What are the 8 steps in the oxygen and carbon dioxide exchange?
I only know 5 of them they are... carbon dioxide in the air photosynthesis Respiration decay once living or organisms fossil fuels
Why is it difficult to classify viruses into one of the 5 kingdoms of living organisms?
Viruses lack the characteristics of living organisms, such as cellular structure and metabolism, making it challenging to classify them within the traditional system of biological classification. Additionally, viruses are considered obligate intracellular parasites that can only replicate inside host cells, further complicating their classification within the existing kingdom system.

What are the five in which organisms are similar?
1. All organisms are made of cells 2. The chemical composition of all living things is remarkably similar 3. All living things require energy 4. Organisms can grow and reproduce 5. All living things reproduce or produce more of their own kind
What happens when bacterial cell is placed in 5 NACL?
5% NaCl solution is unusually high. And because all living organisms seek to maintain an isotonic balance with their environment,osmotic diffusion will occur in order to re-establish this balance.Hence,there will be a diffusion down the gradient i.e. from the medium containing the NaCl solution,into the bacterial cell which has solutes dissolved in it but insufficient to even out this balance.The end result will then be lysis or bursting of the bacterial cell,as it gorges in the NaCl to maintain equilibrium.

How do the kingdoms of living organisms differ?
Kingdoms and domains are used to classify living things. There are 3 domains: Bacteria, Archaea, and Eukaryote. Within the domains, living things are sorted into Kingdoms. There are currently 5 Kingdoms protista, bacteria, archaea, plants, animals, and fungi. Previously, only the 5 kingdom system existed. Later however, the domains were added.
