Question
Like many animals although a car also moves it is not considered as a living orgainism. Give 2-3 reasons.
Solution
the car is not considered a living organism because it does not have the following properties:
- Not made up of cells- All living beings are composed of cells but the car is not made up of cells and thus is a non-living thing.
- No Reproduction- All living beings undergo the process of reproduction but the car does not reproduce.
- Lack of respiration- respiration is an essential process for the survival of the living being but the car does not undergo the process of respiration.
Thus, these points above cleared the fact that a car is a non-living thing.
