To stay alive, all living things must do 4 things:
1. Exchange gasses. For humans, it is breathing in oxygen and breathing out carbon dioxide. If we do not do this, we die in minutes. For plants, they release oxygen, and take in carbon dioxide. For microbs, such as a paramesium, you exchange gasses through microscopic holes in the cell.
2. Eliminate waste. In other words, go potty. It may sound silly but your body would not do well if you didn't do this. You also can eliminate waste with flatulance. If you refuse to go, you hold it in and get that unpleasnt feeling. Then you feel you back side starting to hurt, where your kidneys are located. Then your organs shut down. This is a painful death i would suggest to no body. In all this processs, you would have only hours to live.
3. Water. Everyone knows you can drink it, but also you can eat it through different foods. In micro organisims (microbs), they get water through the microscopic holes I mentioned before. In plants, they get it through the grounnd from the roots. Without water, humans would only have days.
4. Energy. For humans, food. Of course, we humans eat. Some micro organisims, such as a paramesium have a "gullet" where food comes in. In plants, they get it through a process called "photosynthesis", where sunlight comes to the plant, and the chlorophil makes the sunlight into food. This explains the green color of plants.
(Please note these are in the order of need for a HUMAN. Plants, fungi, bacteria and proteista differ in needs.)
Also there are 3 things a living thing can do, but doesnt need to.
1. Grow. I don't need to explain this.
2. Move. Neither this one.
3. Respond to encironment. This is talking, gestures, alot of different things.
Hope This helps!!
The seven life processes that all living things must perform are: movement, respiration, sensitivity, growth, reproduction, excretion, and nutrition. These processes are essential for the survival and functioning of living organisms.
produce energy
Living things must be able to grow, reproduce, respond to stimuli from their environment, and maintain homeostasis to survive. These key characteristics define life and distinguish living organisms from non-living things.
inductive reasoning Deductive Reasoning A+
yes' because bacteria cells have a nucleus and all living things cells must have a nucleus
All living things need water.
Living things must be able to acquire nutrients and energy. This also means that living things must have a metabolism.
ALL living things (organic) must have carbon and oxygen to live.
Water
If the dog is living and all living things use energy, then the dog must use energy. They must continually replenish the energy that they spend through the consumption of food.
If the dog is living and all living things use energy, then the dog must use energy. They must continually replenish the energy that they spend through the consumption of food.
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.
Food, water, shelter, air
All living things need water
Yes. All living things must reproduce.
The animals must reproduce.
