Is everything alive?
Anything that is made up of cells is alive. All living things are made of cells. Plants are even alive even though they do not move. They are stationary. Yet, they need food, water, and they reproduce like other living things. Rocks and sticks cannot do this because they are not alive. Although- sticks have come from something that's alive ( tree), they are no longer alive since they are no longer connected to the tree. The study of living things, by the way, is Biology.
List the characteristics of living things?
All living things are made of cells.All living things require and use energy.All living things grow, develop, reproduce and repair themselves.All living things produce wasteAll living things respond and adapt to their environment.All living things have a life span.Characteristics of all living things:1. Living things are made up of cells.2. Living things reproduce.3. Living things grow and develop.4. Living things obtain energy and use energy.5. Living things respond to their environment.
Why do scientists not classify viruses as living things?
Viruses have no self metabolism nor ability to reproduce autonomously, but bacteria can reproduce, grow and metabolize without the help of another cell. An easy way to think about it is this: If all life in the Universe were to die, but bacteria were left in tact (alive), they would survive and continue to live and reproduce. If bacteria were wiped out as well as all other life, but viruses were unaffected (left in tact), they would all disintegrate/decay (fall apart) fairly quickly and there is no conceivable way they could reproduce. This is because the virus isn't alive, it is just a collection of molecules that living things will "copy" (reproduce) if they come into contact with them, due to the particular interactions the living cell has with those viral molecules.
Can a tornado reproduce?
No. Tornadoes do not reproduce. They are not alive.
What must you do to be called alive in science?
There are four things that determine if something is living. They are: 1)All living things obey the laws of chemistry and physics. 2)All living things use DNA. 3)All living things require energy. 4)All living things are made up of cells.
Are bacteria and mold alive?
yes, they are living things because they grow and reproduce.
What is the definition of non-living things?
Things which are not alive, which do not have the characteristics of living things: the ability to grow, the need to be nourished, the ability to reproduce.
How is living and non living different?
non living is dead and living is alive
Why are frogs classified as living things?
Frogs are alive because they grow and reproduce and utilize energy and react to their environment.
What makes living things different from living things?
Living things are alive.
How are living things different from non living thing?
They are alive. They move, breathe, make waste and reproduce themselves. Dead or non living doesn't do any of those. Living thing needs and uses energy.
Is it correct to say that living things which breathe through their gills usually live in water and reproduce by laying eggs?
no is it not correct to say that living things which breathe through their gills usually live in water and reproduce by laying eggs . it is because like whale, it live in water but uses lungs and reproduce by giving birth alive.
What are the things that make living things alive?
the fact that they are alive
What make living things different from non living things?
Living things are alive.
Are all organisms living things?
Yes **G1N4** I thought some living things are not organisms, because they are not free living.
How things like a virus prion and viroid can reproduce but are not considered to be alive?
The virus, prion and viroid don't meet the definition of alive which is:Movement: All living things move in some way.Respiration: Respiration is a chemical reaction that happens within cells to release energy from food.Sensitivity: The ability to detect changes in the environment.Growth: All living things grow.Reproduction: The ability to reproduce and pass genetic information onto their offspring.Excretion: Getting rid of waste.Nutrition: The intake and use of nutrients.All living things do all of these things. Viruses make use of living cells.
Is h2o alive?
No, water (H2O) is not alive. Living organisms, such as plants, animals, and bacteria, have cellular structures, can grow, reproduce, respond to stimuli, and exhibit other characteristics of life, which water does not possess. Water is essential for life, but it is not considered a living organism.
