Classifying If Something was Living, Non-living, Dormant, or Dead


Today in class we started talking about if we are ready for the quiz that we had last week about the parts of a cell. Next we went over the homeowrk deciding if the object was living, non-living, dormant, and dead. We went around the room for each person saying if it was living, non-living, dormant, and dead. If u disagreed with the person's answer you would have to raise your hand and defend why you think that. We saved mitochondreia to talk about last because it is the most unique. Organ system, organs, tissue, cells, organelles, molocules, and adams make up what is bigger than each other like cells make up tissues. Then we continued to talk about what hydrogen is. Hydrogen and oxygen are an element. Atoms are considered structures. Here's a list of living, non-living, dormant, and dead:

Tree- living

Rock- non-living

Fire-non-living

Boy-living

Wind-non-living

Rabbit-living

Cloud-non-living

Feather-non-living
Grass-living

Seed-dormant

Egg-dormant

Bacteria-living

Cell-living

Molecule-non-living

Sun-non-living

Mushroom-living

Potato-living

Leaf-dormant

Butterfly-living

Fossil-dead

Hibernating Bear-living

Mitochondria-living

River-non-living

Tree-living

Above is a picture of a bear that is considered living because it has all of the charactereistics of life.

  1. I think you made a mistake because mitchorcondria is actually non living because it doesn't have cellular organization because cells are smaller than organels which is what mitchrocondria is. Also i think a leaf is living because it comes from a tree. Unless it rots then it is no longer living and becomes dead.

  2. I liked your blog but I wished you added why something was living, nonliving, dormant, or dead. Also, Tyler is right about how a motrochondria is nonliving because it dosen't have cellular organization.
