Living cells, containing water conduct electricity. However other compounds in the cell resist electricity causing thermal build-up, much like the filament in a light bulb.
Living things get all the materials they need for growth, maintenance, and repair from their environment. They obtain these materials through processes like eating, breathing, and absorbing nutrients.
Living cells require complex biological processes and structures that arise from organic compounds, which are fundamentally different from the inorganic materials found in rocks. The formation of life involves specific arrangements of molecules, such as proteins, nucleic acids, and lipids, that can only originate from pre-existing life or through specific biochemical processes under certain conditions. Additionally, the processes of metabolism, reproduction, and evolution are integral to life, which cannot be achieved with non-living materials. Thus, the emergence of living cells from non-living substances like rocks is not feasible within our current understanding of biology.
yes electricity collects in clouds to form lightning and in living organisims such as the electric eel. Also static electricity can be generated using friction (in hair for example).
No, an electric fan is not a living thing. It is a man-made object designed to create airflow by using electricity to power its motor, and it does not exhibit characteristics of living organisms such as growth, reproduction, or response to stimuli.
Essential materials, such as nutrients and oxygen have to be transported to different parts of the body in living organisms. Without this mechanism, life will not be sustained.
yes
Light can be produced through incandescence (heating a material until it glows), fluorescence (absorbing and then emitting light), and bioluminescence (chemical reaction within living organisms). Heat can be generated through combustion (burning fuel), friction (rubbing two objects together), and through electric resistance (passing electric current through a resistor).
I've gone through the internet and have yet to find an answer to this. But just from my current knowledge, no, they are not living.

List 3 ways the alternating current system improved the standard of living? 1. 2. 3.
Certain minerals, rocks, and elements are examples of materials that were not part of living things. These materials form naturally in the Earth's crust through geological processes like cooling of magma or precipitation from solution.
gradients are an example. Electric gradients are controlled by the transport of Na+ and K+ and H+, etc.
Due to the current population figures and projections, we cannot continue to use and dispose of materials or we will be living in our neighbor's garbage. The use of non-biodegradable materials must be severely restricted.
Everything is ultimately created from non-living things.
No! The previous answer was very wrong! Minerals are natural, non-living materials that are found naturally in the Earth, and is inorganic, meaning that they were never living things. Living materials would be like fossils.
Ultraviolet radiation can pass through some materials like glass and air, but it is absorbed by materials such as sunscreen, clothing, and certain plastics. Substances with high UV absorption properties are used to protect materials and living organisms from the harmful effects of UV radiation.
