Aside from needing certain elements for survival, no. So we need oxygen, plants need carbon dioxide and sunlight etc, and each of these elements is not living in and of itself. However, if we decide to exclude the elements with the idea that water, oxygen, etc are part of the living organisms and therefore part of life, then we are left with the non-essential elements. For humans, we rely a great deal on non-essential elements, they make up most of our "stuff" that we have come to rely on like automobiles, TV's etc. For other living things though, such as microbes, insects, or worms, they do not rely on non-essential elements, and so these non-living things are not important to them.

Yes. Non-living things like plants and trees inhale Carbon dioxide and exhale Oxygen which is very helpful for living things. Likewise so many examples Can be given.

some thing you learn in an creation to Biology is which you will no longer use merely one ingredient to describe existence. you would be able to desire to apply numerous factors to describe existence. 3 of them are: a million. residing issues have cells 2. They evolve 3. They reproduce you would be able to desire to apply ALL of those, because of the fact on their very very own, they could specify some thing that's nonliving, or exclude some thing that's residing. as an occasion, cells could desire to easily be viewed distinctive aspects or aspects of a few thing; the separate products in a motor vehicle's engine could desire to be viewed 'cells.' Evolution is merely replace over the years; seem how the vehicle has replaced; from the form T to the Toyota Carolla. And, as for replica, seem at issues like mules; they are sterile, and function by no skill and could by no skill have the skill to reproduce. So, back, you would be able to desire to apply numerous distinctive factors to describe existence.

Yes non living things are very important for living.
Both living and non living are directly or indirectly dependent on each other.NO ONE wheater living or non living could survive without each other.The climate,water ,food,soil are all non living but we cannot survive without them.Even our planet Earth is non living.

Yes, indeed. In addition to CO2/O2 cycle mentioned already, diet of most animals, including us, has to have numberous minerals in addition to protein, fat and carbohydrates that mostly come from vegetables and other animals. Salt is the mineral that probably tops the list, but there are quite a few others.

yes an ecosystem is abiotic and biotic things coexisting and its the surrounding physical environment that causes organsims to adapt and mutate to differnt envronmental pressures which is basically natural selection... this is why we have many different species of animals

yes they are because non living things such as plants give out oxygen when we give out carbon dioxide. Also without nono living we wouldn't be able to survive because all non living things give out various things:food, oxygen etc. They wouldn't be here if we didn't need it really.But yes they are because without them the living things would die!

certainly,yes...non living things such as oxygen,carbon,hydrogen may seem to be largely available,thats why we,human never imagine what could happen to us if we out of all these things... These non living things cooperate with everything around us,and work out chemistry efficiently,strange but believe it ,i cant imagine what gonna happen if our glucose is lacking of carbon??......dun even think about it...haha
