Question

Think about water and how it rolls up on the beach. Think of all its qualities. Is it alive according to the characteristics of life? Why or why not?

Answer 1

Answer and explanation;

Water is neither live or dead.

Water is a non living thing.

Water does not posses the characteristics of living things; and besides we talk about alive or dead when it comes to living things.

Living things are made of a single or many cells; unlike the case of water; and these cell are responsible for their living nature.

Living things need nutrients, respire, reproduce, show movements , among other characteristics.

Water does not in any way show these characteristics.

Water is a compound that is made of oxygen element and hydrogen element but not cells like living things.
