How would you explain the fact that fire is not considered life even though it grows and uses oxygen?
In Biology there are 8 characteristics a thing needs to have in order to be considered a living thing. Breathing isn't even one of these characteristics. They are as follows:
1. Ability to reproduce
2. Made of cells
3. Homeostasis
4. Responds to the enviornment
5. Can evolve
6. Grow and develop
7. Obtain and use materials and energy
8. Have a genetic code

How or where does a tree get oxygen to give us?
A tree absorbs carbon dioxide from the air, and, with the input of energy from sunlight, oxidizes many of the oxygen atoms of the absorbed carbon dioxide to elemental oxygen, which is released into the atmosphere. The carbon and some of the oxygen atoms from the absorbed carbon dioxide are incorporated into the structure of the tree as the tree grows.
Why is sugar considered an organic compound?
sugar C6h12O6 , it have many elementsedit: The reason that it is a molecular compound, rather than an ionic compound, is that it contains only non-metal elements; carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen. Also the formula for sugar(sucrose) is C12H22O11.
What is chlorine going to be when it grows up?

Is grass a solid or liquid?

Why Fire is not considered life even though it grows and uses oxygen?
Even though fire grows and uses oxygen, it is not considered a life form because it is missing some key elements. Fire has neither DNA or RNA, and it doesn't contain any cells. Fire also lacks metabolism and the ability to reproduce.
Does fire grows?
Fire grows when oxygen (air) gets blown onto it.
Explain the relationship between cell surface area and volume as a cell grows larger?
As the volume of a cell grows, the surface area grows but not as quickly.
Why does oxygen and carbon dioxide vary with depth?
because as you go higher the oxygen grows lighter
If fire is considered alive then why are flowers considered alive?
fire is considered alive because it needs oxygen to burn. flowers are alive because it needs heat for energy to create more cells, CO2 because they need it to produce necessary sugars. and it grows... of course
Does E. coli grow better in the presence or absence of oxygen?
E. coli grows better in the presence of oxygen.
Explain how the objectives of a new business might change as it grows in size?
the large a business grows the more exposed it is and the involved with the external environment
Why is an increase in size a disadvantage to a dragonfly to get oxygen?
because the more it grows the more oxygen it needs which could risk its life
If yeast grows without oxygen it will make?
alcohol through fermentation.

How does the earth maintain oxygen?
the earth maintains oxygen by trees and flowers and other plants that produce oxygen. it maintains it because the seeds from all the plants that produce oxygen get blown away by the wind and get replanted and then after that it grows then another seed gets blown away and another organism grows , its a big cycle that is happening as i type! its quite interesting!!!
