Today, we began the class checking our homework. We discussed how living things have characteristics of life, nonliving never had characteristics of live, dead things once had characteristics of life, and dormant could have c.o.l. Also, we discussed how biotic (bio which means life) was a synonym for living thing and abiotic was another name for nonliving. We also discussed we don't take antibiotics (against living) if we have viruses since viruses are nonliving. They are designed to kill bacteria instead. We take vaccines for viruses instead. After talking about c.o.l, we talked about the homework. We concluded that the second person was right, who stated cells were living, but plant cells couldn't live on their own because they are a multicelluar cell which means they can't survive on its own. They need other organisms to live.

ReplyDeleteOne thing to say; when we started the class, we didn't immediately check our homework. We first talked about living/nonliving/etc. and then got out the homework.
I know dormant things can have the characteristics of life if it is triggered by something else. But, what are some example of triggers that can cause things to be living when it used to be dormant?
