What are living things that must ingest or absorb their food?
All living things need nourishment.
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 is the difference between bacteria and living organisms?
No difference. Bacteria are living organisms.
How do living organisms help soil?
Living organisms provide nutrients for the soil.
How do living organisms grow?
Living Organisms grow from cell division and growth hormones
Why are humans free living organisms?
Humans are not free-living organisms as they parasitically derive nutrition from the suffering of others.
What are the 2 uses of organic molecules in all organisms?
Organic molecules form the structure of all living organisms and derive energy from the organism's environment.

How do you characterize living organisms?
Homeostasis; Organisation; Metabolism; Growth; Adaptation; Response to ; Reproduction.I would say that ALL living things have the element carbonNeed of:AirWaterShelter and Protection (MAINLY PROTECTION)Food
How are parasites and predators alike?
They depend on other living organisms to live.
What are living thing that ingest or absorb their food?
All living things need nourishment.
Do all organisms get their food from sunlight?
In order to see if all organisms get their food from sunlight, we must first see what an organism is. An organism is a living thing that dies if it is not nourished. The only organisms that get food from sunlight are plants. Fungi and animals gain nourishment from extensive root like systems and ingestion, respectively.
Are there more living organisms than non living organisms?
There are no non-living organisms, unless you mean dead organisms.
What are living things that must ingest or absorb their food?
All living things need nourishment.
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
What are the five kingdoms all living things can be classified into?
Superkingdom Prokaryota One kingdom - Monera (bacteria - no cell nucleus, all single celled) Another system divides this into kingdom Eubacteria and kingdom Archaebacteria Superkingdom Eukaryota kingdom Plantae - (derive nourishment via photosynthesis using chloroplasts) kingdom animalia - animals (no plastidic organelles so can't photosynthesize nourishment) kingdom fungi or Mycota - (similar to plants but derive nourishment from rotting organic matter) kingdom Protista (single celled organisms with a nucleus)
Can you please give the charicterictics of living organisms?
The characteristics of living organisms are: They come from similar organisms, grow up to be like the organisms they came from (barring harmful mutations), they take in nourishment, they reproduce similar organisms, then they mature and die. Another answer There are about 7 characteristics that need to be present to define an organism as 'living'. These are reproduction, use of energy (acquired from nutrition and cellular respiration), sensitivity to the environment, genetic transfer of characteristics to offspring (resulting in adaptation and microevolution, and on the larger scale, macroevolution), growth, movement and homoeostasis (the maintainance of fairly constant internal environments).
