i have a question in biology??biology??

Question

is a plant a living thing?if so give examples of each of the charateristics that prove plants are living things?

Answer 1

yes... a living organism
a) reproduces
b) metabolizes
c) evolves

Answer 2

Although there is no universal agreement on the definition of life, scientists generally accept that the biological manifestation of life exhibits the following phenomena:

Homeostasis: Regulation of the internal environment to maintain a constant state; for example, sweating to cool off.
Organization: Being composed of one or more cells, which are the basic units of life.
Metabolism: Production of energy by converting nonliving material into cellular components (synthesis) and decomposing organic matter (catalysis). Living things require energy to maintain internal organization (homeostasis) and to produce the other phenomena associated with life.
Growth: Maintenance of a higher rate of synthesis than catalysis. A growing organism increases in size in all of its parts, rather than simply accumulating matter. The particular species begins to multiply and expand as the evolution continues to flourish.
Adaptation: The ability to change over a period of time in response to the environment. This ability is fundamental to the process of evolution and is determined by the organism's heredity as well as the composition of metabolized substances, and external factors present.
Response to stimuli: A response can take many forms, from the contraction of a unicellular organism when touched to complex reactions involving all the senses of higher animals. A response is often expressed by motion, for example, the leaves of a plant turning toward the sun or an animal chasing its prey.
Reproduction: The ability to produce new organisms. Reproduction can be the division of one cell to form two new cells. Usually the term is applied to the production of a new individual (either asexually, from a single parent organism, or sexually, from at least two differing parent organisms), although strictly speaking it also describes the production of new cells in the process of growth.

Answer 3

plants are living. All living things have 7 features in common:
Movement - plants can grow toward sunlight
Respiration - plant cells use oxygen to get energy out of glucose
Sensitivity - shoots grow upward, roots grow down
Growth - hello.......
Reproduction - plants can reproduce
Excretion - plants produce water and oxygen as waste products
Nutrition - plants need nutrients from the soil to survive.

Answer 4

Yes it is a living thing. It has biological processes and functioning cells running continually throughout its "body". It grows, uses nutrition, releases waste products, some change colors. No, it doesn't have a mind but it certainly is living.

Answer 5

yes.

cellular construction, cellular division

processing food for energy

reproductive capability

a growth and death cycle.

rely on water, sun, sugar, and air for life cycle to continue.

good luck
