What is Life? The property or quality that distinguishes living organisms from dead organisms and inanimate matter, manifested in functions such as metabolism, growth, reproduction, and response to stimuli or adaptation to the environment originating from within the organism. Before moving on to the development of microscopic organisms on Earth, we must first describe the characteristics of life. All matter, both living and non-living, is composed of miniature chemical building blocks called atoms. Your body contains billions of hydrogen, oxygen, nitrogen, phosphorus and carbon atoms. The computer you are looking at is also composed of billions of various atoms. However, there is a very important distinction between yourself and your computer - you are alive. When did life begin on Planet earth? Scientific evidence suggests that life began on Earth approximately 3.5 billion years ago. What is the possibility of life outside planet Earth and outside the atmosphere of Planet Earth? Many scientists think that extraterrestrial life is possible. The meaning of life — its significance, origin, purpose, and ultimate fate — is a central concept and question in philosophy and religion: the conception of a god or gods, a soul, or an afterlife. What are the characteristics of life? All living things are composed of cells. All living things require energy. Energy is required in the form of adenosine triphosphate (ATP). For energy, metabolism and locomotion are required. All living things reproduce either by sexual or asexual means. All living things display heredity. All living things respond to stimuli in their environment. All living things adapt to their environment. All living things maintain homeostasis (internal balance). More complex living organisms can communicate through various means. Viruses have been described as "organisms at the edge of life." Viruses do not metabolize and they require a host cell to make new products. What is taxonomy? Why do scientists organize living things into groups? Here are further guidelines. How are living things elaborated? Animals. Plants. Humans. The five kingdoms of living beings are the kingdom Monera, the kingdom Protista, the kingdom Fungi, the kingdom Plantae, and the kingdom Animalia. Humans belong to kingdom Animalia, but that does not mean humans are like other members of kingdom Animalia that are not humans. Human How do you distinguish matured humans from other members of the kingdom Animalia? They are able to communicate through various means (written, spoken, sign language. English language communicators are highly developed). They are able to clothe themselves. They are able to cook their food. They are able to do abstract reasoning. They are able to solve problems. They are able to move or manipulate objects. They are able to build fires. They are able to create and use numerous technologies. They are able to follow a variety of values, social norms, and rituals. How do plants and members of kingdom Animalia differ? Humans belonging to kingdom Animalia does not mean humans are like other members of kingdom Animalia. Are humans superior to animals and plants? Yes. Is there a difference between anthropology and human health care? Yes. Health What is health? Health is the level of functional or metabolic efficiency of a living organism. What is human health care? Human health care is the diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of disease, illness, injury, and other physical and mental impairments in humans. What is the population of humans on the planet earth? By 2013, the global human population was estimated to be around 7 billion. What is Biology? Biology is the science concerned with the study of life. Here are further guidelines. http://www.qureshiuniversity.org/biologyworld.html Life sciences Here are further guidelines. Life Kingdoms What is the Biology field that studies the classification of living beings? Here are further guidelines. The most well known phyla of kingdom Animalia are the Mollusca, Porifera, Cnidaria, Platyhelminthes, Nematoda, Annelida, Arthropoda, Echinodermata, and Chordata, our own phylum. There are more than 35 phyla in all, but these nine generally comprise the bulk of the kingdom. | |||||||||||||||||||
