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.
Why isn't fire a living thing?
Fires do not have cells, or organization. Homeostasis, would also be necessary for living things, which would be maintaining internal functions, like how we would keep our temperature inside at a certain level where it might be rapidly getting colder or warmer around us. Fire does grow and use energy, in a way, but it would need all of the characteristics of a living thing, not just two.
Is a river living or non living?
A waterfall is nonliving because water is not a living thing.
What will happen if there is no competition in education?
if there are no competitions every one will be on a same level and would not make things better than before
What do you call the branch of science that deals with relation of man and other living things to their environment?
That would probably be psychology
What will happen if living things will not produce?
Living things, that do not reproduce, would eventually die out and become extinct.
What will happen if livings things will not produce?
Living things, that do not reproduce, would eventually die out and become extinct.
What happens if living things do not reproduce?
we would all become extinct
What would happen if all the living things transformed into living things?
then the world would be the same
Why would living things reproduce if some individual living things may not reproduce?
Living things reproduce in order to pass on their genes to the next generation and ensure the survival of their species. While some individual living things may not reproduce due to various reasons such as infertility or asexual reproduction, the overall goal of reproduction is to maintain genetic diversity and adaptability within a population.
Why do living things need to reproduce but not non living things?
actually non living thing do reproduce, just differently. say a plant for instance, that reproduces. anything that doesn't need to reproduce (like a twig or log) then it has evolved not to because it is either dead or doesnt need to reproduce.
Are all living things able to produce?
Yes. But their modes of reproduction could be different. Some would reproduce asexually while some reproduce sexually.
Why would you say that living things reproduce if some individual living things may not reproduce?
Living things possess the capacity to reproduce as a species, even if not all individual members reproduce. Reproduction is essential for the continuation of the species and allows for genetic diversity, adaptation to changing environments, and the perpetuation of life. While not all individuals may reproduce, the ability to do so is a fundamental characteristic of living organisms.
What would happen to the living things and non living things if the ecosystem destroyed?
of course they wil die lol....
What are an organism's characteristics?
The characteristics of a living organism would be that it can grow, reproduce, is made of cells, and can adapt to the environment. All living things can do this.

Do all living things reproduce sexually?
Yes, all living things reproduce. Reproduction is a way to replace the older individuals. Some living things such as bacteria reproduce almost evry 20-25 minutes.
