To determine which item in a list is a living thing, look for characteristics commonly associated with life. Living things typically possess the following traits:
- Cellular organization: Composed of one or more cells.
- Metabolism: Can metabolize energy and perform chemical reactions.
- Homeostasis: Ability to maintain a stable internal environment.
- Growth and development: Changes in size and structure as they age.
- Reproduction: Ability to produce offspring, either sexually or asexually.
- Response to stimuli: Reacts to changes in the environment.
- Adaptation: Can evolve over time in response to environmental changes.
If you provide a list of items or options, I can help identify which one is a living thing based on the characteristics mentioned above.
