Abiotic factors (non living) that whales use include oxygen, water, sunlight and vibrations (sound waves).
Through decay when living things die, and through their wastes.
Living things have the capacity to reproduce, non-living things do not reproduce. The living things use biological energy for their growth and development, non-living things do not require such energy.
A phone battery
If you need an example for humans, we use houses (non living) for shelter, which helps us survive. We aso use weapons (non living) to kill animals that attack us so we can survive. If I'm a wolf or something, then I use caves for shelter.
they don't... if you think about it, everything is living...
nonliving things are things that don't use energy
Well the only non-living things in the Sahara desert are of course land based objects. For example, the sand, rocks, dirt. All of these are non-living because they cannot grow, use food, or drink water. In other words they cannot do things living creatures can. Also bones are non-living things in the Sahara
Because we use them in order to live.
non living things like rocks sit there wile living things moveLiving things use the non living thing as shelter like birds with the nests and other animals making shelters underground or to camuflate like camaleons or stick insects. Also to make food such as plants to make sugar with the sunlight.nonliving things decompose and living things eventually die and decompose,
Turtles use living things like plants for food and nesting sites. They also use non-living things like rocks or logs as basking spots to regulate their body temperature. Additionally, turtles may interact with other living things, like fish or insects, for hunting or cleaning purposes.
Living things in a pond ecosystem, such as fish and plants, interact with non-living things like water and sunlight to sustain life. Plants use sunlight for photosynthesis, producing oxygen for fish. Fish, in turn, release carbon dioxide which plants absorb for photosynthesis. Decomposers break down dead organisms, returning nutrients to the ecosystem from non-living matter.
Living things have several key characteristics, including the ability to grow and develop, reproduce, respond to stimuli, maintain homeostasis, and obtain and use energy. These characteristics help distinguish living organisms from non-living things.
