Answer:

Yes. It's alive.

Explanation:

According to the characteristics of life, for something to be considered a living being, it needs to be able to reproduce, evolve, present metabolism, respond to stimuli, possess cells and have genetic material.

A bush in my yard has all these characteristics, since this bush is a vegetable, which indicates that it has cells and genetic material, which can be passed on to its descendants through the production of gametes for reproduction. In addition, this plant goes through the process of photosynthesis (metabolism), responds to stimuli (grows towards sunlight) and evolves through time.

What would happen to the Earth and the moon if gravity did not exist.
Crazy boy [7]

Answer:

If the Earth suddenly had no gravity, the Earth’s atmosphere would float into space. Everything not attached to the Earth would fly off into space. Things like trees and most buildings would remain because they are rooted. Since the Earth, itself, is held together by gravity, it would most probably break apart into chunks and float off.
