What else can I help you with?
The organization of a rock is much simpler than that of living things By what other criteria can a rock be distinguished from living things?
Rock does not move(on its own) Rock doesn't reproduce. Rock doesn't have Universal genetic code. Rock doesn't take up materials to get energy to preform life processes. That's all the characteristics of all living things i could remember.
Is snow a living or nonliving?
Snow is non-living, it is just crystals of frozen water.
What things that are similar to living things but do not fit at all of the seven criteria?
One example of things that are similar to living things but do not fit all of the seven criteria of life is viruses. Viruses possess some characteristics of living organisms, such as the ability to replicate and evolve, but they lack cellular structure and cannot carry out metabolic processes on their own. Another example is prions, which are misfolded proteins that can cause infectious diseases, but do not have cells or genetic material of their own. These entities challenge our traditional understanding of life due to their unique properties and behaviors.
What living things that can grow and develop?
Some non-living things that grow are: Physical things * crystals * stalactites/stalagmites * mountains * rivers * lakes * canyons * glaciers * sand bars * river deltas * dust bunnies * storm clouds Intangibles: * political movements * knowledge base
Is a chromosome a living thing?
What a thought-provoking question! Scientists have established criteria about whether a "thing" is living or non-living. For example, two common criteria are respiration and reproduction. However, DNA is actually a chemical compound, and chromosomes are nucleic acids and protein. So, neither one is considered living; both are non-living.
Living things can be distinguished from nonliving things because they have?
Camouflage.
What is the criteria for living things?
The criteria for living things is actually a quite extensive list. Living things must exchange gas, drink, eat, grow, and excrete waste.
Are crystals alive?
Crystals are non-living things, they may grow, but they are not alive
Living organisms can best be distinguished from nonliving things by determining the presence or absence of?
Cells
What is criteria of organic matter in soil?
Living things that have been decayed
Why might sugar crystals be mistaken for a living object?
They have some of the characteristics of living things. Ex. Growth.
Does a crystal grow?
Yes, but not in the way that living things grow. Crystals are not composed of cells.
Are sugar crystals living or non-living or dead thing?
Sugar crystals are non-living. They are a simple chemical compound made up of molecules defined by their atomic structure. They do not possess the characteristics of living things such as growth, reproduction, or metabolism.
Does non-living things can produce their own kind?
No. Crystals can grow, but they do it spontaneously, and only if conditions are right.

Is a viris living?
No. Virologists, the scientists who study viruses, don't consider them living things because they do not meet all the criteria of the definition of life.
How do living things and non-living things differ in organization?
Living things are organized in hierarchical levels, from cells to tissues to organs to organ systems, and exhibit growth, reproduction, and response to stimuli. Non-living things lack this level of organization and do not exhibit the characteristics of living organisms.
