Biology

Answer:

The correct answer will be option it lacks cells, lacks DNA and lacks the ability to maintain homeostasis.

Explanation:

Biologists have tried to remove confusion between living and non-living things by making a list of characters common to all living beings like cellular organization , metabolism , reproduction , homeostasis , growth and development, heredity, response to stimuli  and adaptation through evolution.

Since, fire shows few characteristics of living beings like growth, complexity and movement but it lacks the basic unit of life that is a cell, lacks genetic or heredity material-DNA which is passed to offsprings and also lacked the ability to maintain homeostasis ,therefore it cannot be considered alive.

Hence, it lacks cell, lacks DNA and lacks the ability to maintain homeostasis are the correct options.

Hmm.. This is confusing I know, but i believe the last time i saw a question like this it is the lack of a maintaining homeostasis. A fire can not do this on its own accord.

IF A CUBE IS 1CM ON A SIDE, CALCULATE ITS SURFACE AREA. HINT WRITE 2 points
frosja888 [35]

Answer:

Surface area of the cube = 6cm²

Volume of the cube = 1cm³

Explanation:

The surface area of a cube, which refers to the sum of all the areas of the faces of the cube can be calculated using the formula:

S.A = 6 × a²

That is; a² + a² + a² + a² + a² + a²

Where;

a = length of a side of a cube

a² = area of one side of a cube

Note that, a cube has 6 faces

According to this question, a cube has a length of 1cm on each side.

Hence, S.A = 6 × 1²

S.A = 6 × 1

S.A = 6cm²

Volume of the cube can be calculated using the formula: a³

Where a = 1

Volume = 1 × 1 × 1

Volume = 1cm³
