Question

Is a molecule a living thing
GPT-4o mini
No, a molecule is not considered a living thing. A molecule is a group of atoms bonded together, representing the smallest fundamental unit of a chemical compound. While molecules can be essential components of living organisms (such as proteins, DNA, and carbohydrates), they themselves do not exhibit the characteristics of life, such as growth, reproduction, and response to stimuli. Living organisms are made up of cells, which are the basic units of life.
