You observe their properties. A property describes an object, for example the property of a rock is hardness, a property of a person is eye color. Properties can also describe how an object behaves.
A microscope can help determine if a specimen is living by observing if it shows specific characteristics of living organisms like movement, growth, or reproduction. Additionally, the presence of organelles or cellular structures typical of living cells could indicate that the specimen is alive. On the other hand, if the specimen lacks these characteristics and appears inert or does not exhibit any cellular components, it is likely non-living.
A living specimen will exhibit characteristics such as growth, reproduction, response to stimuli, and the ability to maintain homeostasis. Nonliving specimens do not display these processes as they lack biological functions and cannot carry out these activities.
Cork cells are bark cells. The bark of every tree consists of dead cells. As dead cells, they are empty. That makes them insulation material. Cork oak trees live in an arid climate. The cork oak bark insulates the tree.
Energy. All living things require energy to carry out essential functions like growth, reproduction, and movement. This energy is either produced through processes such as photosynthesis or obtained by consuming other living organisms.
you can tell if something is living or non-living when it meets all 8 characteristics which is when it ....reproduces, has 1 or more cell, reacts to stimuli, consumes nutrients, produces waste, exchanges gases, contains water and when it grows!!!!! hoped that this helped!=)
if u mean a "glass jar" then yes it is non living........ for it was made out of sand - a nonliving substance. in u meant a "glass of jar" i have no idea.

to tell you the truth i do not know but think of this does a folder have a beating heart or is it just cardboard
You can tell it is non living, because it is filled with air. Under a microscope you will be able to only see a cell wall, because the inside is air.
to be considered living most scientist agree it must have the following properties:organizationexhibit evolutionary adaptationrespond to environmental stimuliregulationenergy processesgrowth and developmentreproductionAs a result virus are non-living because they DO NOT REPRODUCE ON THEIR OWN. They have to have a host to reproduce, grow, and develop.Also a good rule of thumb that i tell my students, if its not a virus, but has DNA in it....its a living thing.
you can tell if this "thing'' if it can move, or it needs to survive by food , and if it can grow, it takes amounts of investigation to see if this"thing" is a living thing.
It is estimated that there are around 10^30 living cells on Earth, with the majority being microbial. Nonliving cells, such as those found in rocks and minerals, do not have a well-defined count but are significantly fewer in number compared to living cells.
It is not so you cannot ever tell.
Giraffe, maybe.
biotics are living things. abiotics are nonliving things. so they ask what are the linving and nonliving things that live around your house. Tell what kinds of living things live near your house
Umm cant u tell that a living thing is something living?
Every living thing needs water, oyygen and food and nutrients and sun to help it survive. You can tell that a thing is living if it breaths or grows.
