Question

Which of the following distinguishes living things from nonliving things.

A. living things are made up of cells nonliving things are not

B. living things are made up of atoms nonliving things are not

C. living things are made up of elements nonliving things are not

D. living things are made up of molecules nonliving things are not

Answer 1

That would be A.

Explanation:
While living things are made up of atoms as well, so do nonliving things because everything around us is made up of atoms. Everything around us is either a solid, liquid, gas, or the rare plasma, so there's always gonna be molecules at everything you look at. The same thing with elements, don't need to say more. Does this make sense?
