Biological criteria of life are that an organism maintains the homeostasis, are composed of cells, have a life cycle, undergoes the catabolic and anabolic reactions, can grow, adapt to their environment, respond to stimuli, reproduce and evolve. no brainwave or no heartbeat may show the signs of clinical death but not all organs stop functioning at the same time. This is the reason why different organs can be transplanted even after death.

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.

malfutka [58]
Some activities that cell requires energy may include cell division, active transport, protein synthesis etc.
In human, Cells get their energy by the food we eat. The nutrients in the food breaks down into soluble and simple molecules in stomach and small intestine and it is absorbed through the small intestine and assimilated into the cells, becoming part of it, providing the uses for each type of nutrient.
