Is fire living

Answer 1

No, fire is an oxidation process that releases energy in the form of light and heat.

Answer 2

NONLIVING

Note** THIS IS A GOOD GUESS.

This is a very good question. In current scientific definitions, fire is definitely non-living. However, philosophically, if we think of a living organism as something that consumes food (fuel) and uses the energy obtained to live and procreate (create more of the same organism), fire comes very close to that since it consumes fuel and makes more of the same thing (fire). However, biologically, fire is not made up of cells, and that alone can define it as non-living. Though if you think about it, the mechanisms living organisms use to generate energy, cellular respiration, is basically the same process as combustion (burning) since they have the same chemical equation. Cellular respiration is just a more controlled form of combustion.

i think fire is living!

Answer 3

a fire is just an inanimate force of nature that will burn the skin in different degrees.

It is chemical reaction happening between a carbon source such as wood, paper, etc, and oxygen. The product of this reaction is carbon dioxide among other things. This reaction produces energy in the form of the flame you see and the heat. simple answer, it is non living.

Answer 4

Everything in the Universe is living.

=============================

Except fire.

Answer 5

No, fire is not considered a living organism because it does not have cells, reproduce, grow, or adapt to its environment. Fire is a chemical reaction that releases heat and light energy.

Answer 6
