In any living organism that needs to breath, the only thing consistently required for life is the presence of moist membranes. The movement of oxygen and carbon dioxide across the membranes between the environment and the respiratory surface occurs by diffusion. Respiratory surfaces are generally thin and, since living animal cells must be wet in order to maintain their plasma membranes, these respiratory surfaces must be moist.
Mutations happen in ALL living things (and also in viruses)!!!!!!
In a polymerase chain reaction (PCR), the key components required include DNA templates, primers, nucleotides, and a DNA polymerase enzyme. However, one component that is NOT required for PCR to occur is a living cell, as the reaction can take place in vitro (outside of a living organism).
Non-living things do not have cells. Cells are the fundamental units of living organisms where biological processes occur. Non-living things are typically made up of molecules, atoms, or other non-cellular structures.
Yes, reproduction can occur both asexually and sexually in living things. Asexual reproduction involves only one parent and produces offspring that are genetically identical to the parent. Sexual reproduction involves two parents and results in genetic variation among the offspring.
The greenhouse effect does not occur in space, it occurs within the Earth's atmosphere. Without the greenhouse effect, most living things would freeze to death.
Enzymes are the organic molecules that act as biological catalysts.
nutrient cycle is the process by which nutrients are passed from living things to non-living things in a continuous cycle.
Exchange of wastes occur's in Capillaries.
Surface area is important for living things because it dictates the rate of exchange of materials with the environment. A larger surface area allows for more efficient absorption of nutrients and gases, as well as the release of waste products. This is crucial for processes like respiration, digestion, and photosynthesis to occur effectively.
Diffusion is one of the processes of transferring materials within the cells of living organisms. An example of diffusion is the exchange of gases in the lungs.
Growth in living things occurs primarily from a combination of nutrient intake and genes for growth which are turned "on" (and tend to turn "off" with aging).
An enzyme is a type of protein that speeds up chemical reactions in living things by lowering the activation energy of said reactions.
During the stage of photosynthesis, the exchange of gases occur in the leaves.
A scientist who works in the field of how chemical processes occur in living things.
No. Gems are a mineral (rock) and do not occur in living things.
