How can non living things be mistaken for living things?

Answer 1

i don't noe that's wat im tryin to find out

Uhm lets look at a car... *A car can move, it gets energy from petrol (like nutrition), it might have a car alarm (sensitivity), and it gets rid of waste gases through its exhaust pipe (excretion). But it can't grow or make baby cars. So a car is not alive.

You could use the seven living processes to find out whether something is living:

M- ovement --> moving around to different places

R- espiration --> releasing energy from food

S- ensitivity --> being aware of your surroundings

G- rowth --> growing, making physical changes

R- eproduction --> to make more generations

E- xcetion --> discharging waste or gaseous things

N - utrition --> eating to obtain energy or taking in food

You could use then seven aspects to remind you if something is living..

You could also remember the seven aspects by remembering the first letters; MRS GREN
