Biology ;)

If you discover a “thing” how do you determine wheither it has, will be or ever will be defined as living?

All this in 3 pages, for Thursday.
Ce vous pleut and a premature danke.
I observe some keen minds-a floatin so you’d better all post.

I was actually asking myself why I ever took Biology.

I was just asking myself why Guppies are not responding, frockin losers.
BTW was the teacher hot?

No ,he was rather fat.
I mainly took it because Im going in that field more or less.But read over your lecture notes carefully ,or ask some friend.It usually makes a lot more sense once somebody explains it properly.

Cuz none of us are as clever as you :kiss:

'dear' u r becoming like 'some' of 'those' kind of guppies drop it please it doesnt suit u :p

Ps wat a sad question i dont think any one in my skool had to do that

The following factors determine whether or not something is living. Living things:

  • are made up of cells

  • can reproduce

  • can grow and develop

  • perform homeostasis

  • adapt and evolve

Now expand on it and give examples of both living and non-living things to prove these characteristics…use this for detailed info on the above points…:slight_smile:

Oh now I know what you’re talking about: Mr Grens. We did this in year 7 science (mebbe u aint so clever afterall :stuck_out_tongue: ) Lemme see if i can remember …

** M ** ovement
** R ** eproduction
** G ** rowth
** R ** espiration
** E ** xcretion
** N ** utrition
** S ** ensitivity

Oooooh i’m so proud of myself for knowing some science!

P.S I hope you appreciate the effort i went through to type MR GRENS in bold :hoonh:

This is my understanding of what a living organism must have in order to be considered "living"

*cellular
*reproduce
*grow and develop
*homeostatic
* responsive to environmental stimuli
*excrete waste byproducts
*obtain and use energy from food source
*adapt to environment

Good luck with your studies:)

Danke schorn all, Im writing it up today and I'll let you know how it goes.
