- Living things are composed of cells, and the concept of the cell is the fundamental to understanding the phenomenon of growth. Minimally, a cell is made up of cytoplasm (the filling of the cell), DNA (genetic material of the cell) and a cell membrane that encloses the cell. Cells are the smallest units that satisfy all conditions necessary to be called living--they use energy, reproduce without aid of a host organism, pass on their genetic material, respond to their environment and are able to regulate their physical condition to adapt to the environment. Some structures, like viruses, share some but not all characteristics of cells; therefore they are not alive.

How do turtles grow?
Honestly I'm not sure that I understand your question. Turtles grow the same way any other living thing grows... taking in nutrients and converting them to energy (calories) which prompts growth. Obviously this is the short simplified version... but it is the same with all living things. We all grow the same way. no-one Leah eats them
What is a group of living things called?
A group of living things is called a population if they belong to the same species, a community if they comprise different species living in the same area, and an ecosystem if they interact with each other and their physical environment.
Name two non-living things?
Two non-living things are a river and candle. They share some of the same living characteristics, but not all of them.
Why do consumers eat other organisms?
Because it is a food chain, it is basically the same concept as humans and animals, except with organisms. They are living things, so they need to feed!
What do the differences among living things depend on?
The difference among living things depends on different DNA arrangement in the genetic order of a living thing. Offspring do not have the same genetic order as either of their parents which results in such obvious things as having different personality, look, height,etc.....
Why do living things grow and change?
Living things grow and change because if we didn't we would have never Ben born cause we have to grow to be born ,and that's the same for most things.
Nonliving thing grow by?
Non living things grow by deposition of the same particles on the surface. -answered by K.Pramod Rao
Nonliving things grow by what?
Non Living things do not grow. They are not alive in the first place. Non-living things do grow! Mountains are non-living and they still grow. Mountians Grow by sedimentation (by things getting stuck to it like sand) they do not replicate cells as they are not living so there is no evolution nor growth.
What makes a living organism different a non living thing?
Living organisms have the ability to grow, reproduce, respond to stimuli, and maintain homeostasis, which refers to the ability to regulate internal conditions to ensure survival. Non-living things do not possess these characteristics and do not exhibit the same level of organization or complexity as living organisms.
Which two crystals grow fastest?
Alum crystals and sugar crystals grow at the same rate at an increasing time rate making them grow the fastest
Contrast growth in living and nonliving things?
Living things, such as plants and animals, grow and develop through processes like cell division and differentiation. This growth is usually guided by genetic instructions and can be influenced by environmental factors like nutrition and light. On the other hand, nonliving things, such as rocks and water, do not grow in the same way; they may change physically over time due to erosion, weathering, or other natural processes, but this change is not driven by biological mechanisms like living organisms.
How are icicles and living things the same?
Icicles and living things are both affected by external conditions such as temperature and environment. Both can grow and change in response to these conditions. However, icicles lack the basic characteristics of living things such as cellular structure, growth and reproduction.
Are living thing and nonliving things the same?
Living things and nonliving things are not the same. It's basically Organic v.s. Inorganic.
Using birthrate and death rate describe a situation where the population would grow?
If the birth rate were to increase and the death rate were to remain the same, the population would grow.
What are some things that living things do not do?
Living things don't normally stay the same as long as non living things do. Most living things will die before a mountain crumbles.
What four things do living creatures do?
They breathe, grow, smell and reproduce. bacteria do not smell, plants do not smell, fungi do not smell bacteria do not breathe, plants do not breathe, fungi do not breathe to breathe is to force air in and force air back out. well there are at least 7 Living things are organized. living things acquire substances + energy (eat or absorb energy) living things reproduce living things respond to stimuli (behavior) living things are homeostatic (they tend to stay the same) ie body temp or pH of blood. Living things grow and develop. grow= get bigger. develop = change from birth to death living things adapt to their surroundings due to pressures from environment
Why are airplanes considered nonliving thing things?
yes
