It is a thing that grows into a living being, when it is fertlized.
Non living
Type your answer here... which living thing lays one egg at a time?
an egg
The egg contains a living cell and is the product of a living animal so is a biotic factor.
if a bird laying an egg without mating then it does not have the power to reproduce so it is a non living thing if a bird laying an egg after mating then it will reproduce so it is a living thing:)
Because most fruit grows from a living thing like a tree. And an egg comes from a live chicken
being
If it remains unfertilised it is non living. However at the start of its existence it holds the potential to become part of a living thing.
All animals are living things, there is no problem there. The problem with the definitions of 'life' and 'living thing' first arises with the viruses as they: # do not manipulate energy to perpetuate their own existence # do not have everything within themselves to perform their functional existence but rely on the functional organs of a host to complete them. Problems with the definition gets even harder with the prions as they do not even have DNA or RNA to define them but are merely perpetuating proteins maintained within another living organism. (mad cow deases, Scrapies, etc.) Crystals meet some of the definitions of a living thing as they untilize energy in the form of heat and chemiical concentrations to grow and reproduce (under the right conditions), and carry within themselves all the information necessary to perpetuate their particular existence, but nobody seriously considers them to be a living thing.
This is because soil is not a living thing. Being made of cells is one characteristic of a living thing.
If it remains unfertilised it is non living. However at the start of its existence it holds the potential to become part of a living thing.
No, but some robots have had light bulbs in them and they could be considered a being. They just wouldn't be a living being/thing.
