<span><em>Whether living or non living:</em>
<em>When you put a sample of tissue under a microscope, if u can see a cell membrane, and can identify some cell structures like nucleus, mitochondria, vacuoles etc. , it was living, if not, its a non living thing.</em></span>

<span><em>However some cells don't have a nucleus( eg. prokaryotic cells), but all cells have a cell membrane or some sort of protective covering to contain the cell's insides. </em></span>

<span><em>To check if your specimen maybe-once living, maybe-still living "something", is living, get a look at it through an electron microscope - thats the best microscope ever- and see if the mitochondria's making any ATP( adenosine triphosphate, source of energy for most organisms), if it does, its living. If not, no</em></span><em>n living. :)</em>

What is it called when a living thing copies the appearance of another living thing as a mean of protection?
anygoal [31]

Answer:

It is called mimicry when a living thing copies the appearance of another living thing as a means of protection.

Explanation:

Mimicry is used primarily by living things as a means for protection and to decrease the chances of the living thing being killed. For example, a frog that is prey to a toad could have bright colors (bright color frogs are often poisonous) that don't mean anything to the frog and it's species, but to the toad, the frog is poisonous and should not be eaten, so the toad does not eat the frog because it is brightly colored.

Without mimicry, the frog would have been eaten because it wouldn't have had looked like a poisonous frog, or something that the toad would avoid.
