. which of the following is NOT a characteristic of life? ( 1point ) A. maintains homeostasis b. composed of cells c. composed of atoms d. carries out metabolism
What do you think?
A or D ? @Abhisar
Homeostasis is a feature of life. Humans for example maintain a constant body temperature. This is homeostasis
We all carry metabolism. it is breaking of molecules or formation of new molecules. We eat food which is then digested. It is breaking of molecules. The digested food gets assimilated. It is formation of new molecules.
So not A? @Abhisar
Nopes, not A and not D
I'd say C then ?
@Abhisar
Yes, C is the correct option. it's a relatively correct but relatively incorrect statement.Because anything matter is made up of atoms. But we say that smallest unit of life is cell. Anything smaller than cell cannot sustain life.
