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.

True.
Shivering is a bodily function in response to cold in warm blooded animals/human. When the core body temperature drops shivering reflex is triggered to maintain homeostasis. Skeletal muscles begin to shake in small movements creating warmth by expending energy.

Briefly differentiate "White Matter" & "Grey Matter".
evablogger [386]

Answer:

The CNS, or central nervous system is comprised of neurons, the cell units that form it. These cells, in turn, are formed by their cell bodies, the dendrites on them and the terminal ends of the axons, which are like the connectors, or roadways, for neurons. When viewed on a microscope, brain tissue, particularly, looks stained with two different colors: grey, or pinkisk, for the grey matter, and whiter for the white matter, which are the axons. This is basically why the two are called grey matter and white matter of the CNS.

So one difference between these two matters is the color they display when viewed. The second is the parts of the neuron that form the two; while the white matter is formed from the neuronal axons, the grey matter is formed by the dendrites, cell bodies and axonal terminals. A third differentiation is that most synaptic activity takes place in the grey matter, while most conduction of information from the cell bodies is performed by the axons.
