I believe that you mean to ask why the atmospheric pressure of 24 pounds per square inch does not crush living organisms. That pressure exists both inside and outside of living organisms; air is inside us as well as outside, since we inhale it. And the parts that have no air are permeated by water, which is relatively incompressible. An organism would only feel the air pressure as a crushing force if it had a section of its body which contained a vacuum, and there is no living organism which does.

What are three factors that makes a rock susceptible to weathering?
Activities of living organisms (animal burrows, plant roots), Pressure from overlying load\materials and atmospheric conditions.
Which colligative property is extremely important to the functioning of living organisms?
osmotic pressure
Are organisms able to consciously direct the course of their own evolution?
No. Evolution is a consequence of selective pressure(s) from the environment acting on organisms. Virtually all living beings are not conscious of this process.The only species that *could* consciously direct its own evolution is Homo sapiens (humans), but currently it doesn't.Artificial selection can and has consciously directed evolution, but it always was a species acting over other different species, not on their own evolution.
Since milk is converted to curd by micro organisms can you consider milk as a living organism?
The micro organism is acting on the milk to cause the change. That does not make milk a living organism, so no you can't.
Is tomato living or nonliving?
A tomato isaliving organisms all things are living organisms. You will be surprised at what are living organisms.

Are there more living organisms than non living organisms?
There are no non-living organisms, unless you mean dead organisms.
Living organisms come from other living organisms?
All living organisms have to have a host to create other organisms. This includes micro organisms as well as bacterial organisms

The micro organism is acting on the milk to cause the change. That does not make milk a living organism, so no you can't.
How are living cells that are organisms different from living cells that are not organisms?
All living things are organisms. There is no such thing as a living cell that is not an organism.
What is the difference between living cells that are organisms and living cells are not organisms?
Single celled organisms are examples of living cells that are organisms. Most other living cells are parts of living organisms, but could not survive long on their own.
What are Some environmental conditions which may have affect on organisms living on the deep ocean floor?
pressure, temperature, light and salinity
Do living organisms come from other living organisms?
Yes, they do.
Is clouds biotic?
No, clouds are not living. They are groups of water vapor suspended in the atmosphere.
