The earliest known life on earth is thought to be bacterial. The cyanobacteria microbes that formed colonies and created what we currently call stromatolites (fossilized remains) date back some three and a halfbillion years. Interestingly, there are currently colonies of this bacteria inhabiting Shark Bay, Australia. Additionally, if an investigator looks inland from there, those fossilized remains previously mentioned (stromatolites) can be found here and there across the landscape. A link can be found below.
What else can I help you with?
Are all living things able to produce?
Yes. But their modes of reproduction could be different. Some would reproduce asexually while some reproduce sexually.
What living things must be able to do what?
Living things must be able to grow, reproduce, respond to stimuli from their environment, and maintain homeostasis to survive. These key characteristics define life and distinguish living organisms from non-living things.
What characteristic do all living things share?
All living things share the characteristic of being able to grow, reproduce, and respond to their environment.
What things do living things need to be copunted as living?
For things to be considered living they must meet some requirements. These are being able to grow, reproduce, adapt to their environment, and be composed of cells.
How is living and non living different?
non living is dead and living is alive
What is required by all living things?
Living things must be able to acquire nutrients and energy. This also means that living things must have a metabolism.
True or false all living thing are able to reproduce?

What characteristics does a living thing have to have to be classified as a living thing?
C-cells H -homeostasis A-able to grow and develop R-respiration A-adaptability C-can move T-take in food E-excrete R-reproduce S-sensitivity
All living things are?
Move Reproduce Are sensitive Grow Respirate Excrete Need nutrition Move Reproduce Are sensitive Grow Respirate Excrete Need nutrition
Is a potato chip living?
No, a potato chip is not living. Living things are able to grow, reproduce, respond to stimuli, and require energy to sustain themselves, characteristics that a potato chip does not possess.
What is necessary for living things to survive?
Living things need access to food, water, and a suitable environment to survive. They also need to be able to reproduce to ensure the continuation of their species. Additionally, living things need to be able to adapt to changes in their environment to survive long-term.
If a living being has to be able to reproduce have a metabolism etc etc and if only one of these things are missing it's not a living being then what is a Mule A living thing or not?
A mule is considered a living being because it possesses the essential characteristics of life, such as a metabolism and the ability to reproduce. However, mules are sterile and cannot reproduce, which does not exclude them from being classified as living beings based on this single criterion.
