What the needed to give living things energy?

Living things need energy to survive, grow, and carry out their cellular functions. This energy is typically obtained through the consumption of food, which contains nutrients that can be broken down by the body to release energy in the form of ATP (adenosine triphosphate). This energy is used in various metabolic processes to sustain life.


How do non living environment affect living things?

What do all living thingshave in common?

All living things are made up of cells, require energy for metabolism, can grow and reproduce, respond to stimuli in their environment, maintain homeostasis, and have the potential to evolve over time.


All of the atoms and subatomic particles found in living things occur in nonliving things as well?

Yes, all the atoms and subatomic particles found in living things are also present in nonliving things. Living organisms are made up of the same basic building blocks as inanimate objects, such as carbon, oxygen, hydrogen, and nitrogen. The arrangement and interactions of these elements give rise to the complexity of living systems.


Are tree's living or non-living things?

They are living (they receive energy from the sun/water through photocynthesis and give animals/humans energy through eating); however, they do not have minds, emotions, or feelings. In fact, some animals are similar to this lifestyle (amaebos, some worms, etc.). All plants are that way. Trees are biotic, or living organisms.
