<span>When you talk about growth, it refers to development either in size, state or ability, the capacity. Growth in living organisms are resulted from acquiring nutrients, being able to function in adaptation, irritability, reproduction and excretion. On contrary, these functions are absent in nonliving things. When you say growth in nonliving things it’s either by addition of matter or magnitude. The process is called accretion but this doesn’t mean maturation or aging in living organisms. Maybe rusting or oxidation is caused by the chemical change, toxification but not growth just chemical reaction.  </span>

Please help me!!! 26 POINTS !!!!<br> what would happen to an ecosystem without nitrifying bacteria?
Vera_Pavlovna [14]

Microbes. Bacteria, for example, convert nitrogen and carbon dioxide from the air into usable components that plants and animals can use as essential building blocks. A loss of all microbes would be terrible news for living organisms that can't create or take in these essential nutrients on their own.
