to answer on your question, that trees or plants are not alive:
first, if a tree didnt get sunlight, or water, it will stopc growing, her leafs will fall, it want produce anything
trees breath air right? it use oxygen at night, when there's no sunlight,
in day, it produce oxygene, but more than she use at the nigh,
she grow,
she use water
she creat it's organic materials,
she give fruits
she give other organic stuff that she needs, also other stuff, like some trees that produce things like gum, or plastic,
when it's dead, it don't produce it,
if trees are not alive, or they are just as rocks, or sand, then, why we cant find trees on moon, or planet mars, or anyother planet???
Humans share about 35% of their DNA with daffodils. Plants and trees have DNA. Only living things have the building blocks of life, DNA.
The confusion is solely yours.That is where your confusion is. Tell me why the tree is living and the ice cube is not living.
1. Homeostasis: Regulation of the internal environment to maintain a constant state; for example, electrolyte concentration or sweating to reduce temperature.
2. Organization: Being structurally composed of one or more cells, which are the basic units of life.
3. Metabolism: Transformation of energy by converting chemicals and energy into cellular components (anabolism) and decomposing organic matter (catabolism). Living things require energy to maintain internal organization (homeostasis) and to produce the other phenomena associated with life.
4. Growth: Maintenance of a higher rate of anabolism than catabolism. A growing organism increases in size in all of its parts, rather than simply accumulating matter.
5. 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.
6. Response to stimuli: A response can take many forms, from the contraction of a unicellular organism to external chemicals, to complex reactions involving all the senses of multicellular organisms. A response is often expressed by motion, for example, the leaves of a plant turning toward the sun (phototropism) and by chemotaxis.
7. Reproduction: The ability to produce new individual organisms, either asexually from a single parent organism, or sexually from two parent organisms.
So what?you have to realize that an ice cube goes through a transformation process and needs certain requirements to be met in order to stay in its form.
the ice cuba is not living, cause, it don't use any other material,
like trees or animals, they breath air,
also, it's water, have a law tempature,
water is alive, no it's not alive, if water is alive, then why you cant see, maybe, a water geny, or, an animal of water, and nothing but watern
why water don't do some behaviour, or breath, or do something, or produce,
producing, is the biggest role of being alive, using, and producing
No all liquid can freeze. The point is that certain criteria needs to be met for this ice cube to form. When those criteria subsist the cube no longer exists. So for all intents and purposes, it is dead. That is if you use Dwyders arguments. I do not, so i never considered the ice cube to be alive.
Water in most cases, except sterilized is full of living organisms.

They are not alive, i know this. What makes you say they are alive?
Wtf? I thought we covered this already. You're at it again!? :bugeye:
Therefore, the bacteria is in the realm of human life, to a degree, and the tree is one level above a rock (as an example). It is no coincidence that trees\wood, under the right conditions, turn into rocks.
Well you did send dwyder the link to the other discussion, through PM.
And yet another stupid assumption on your part.Well you did send dwyder the link to the other discussion, through PM.
My first comment to that is: this is what we know, this is what we are aware of. Of course it is all well and good but there is a whole lot more to it than that.
I said trees were living, just that they are not alive. Some can see the difference, but this is a matter of visualization and perception.
:roflmao:
And animals do not turn to rock under the right circumstances, eh? lol
And yet another stupid assumption on your part.
Enmos sent me nothing.
And even if he had YOU, made the (ridiculous) assertion before I posted the link.
