Question

directions: fill out the table below. explain how each shows the characteristics of life if it does. feature of life dog fast - moving stream made of cells? yes, dogs are made up of cells. uses energy? responds and adjusts to changes? reproduce?

Explanation:

For a dog:

• Uses energy: Yes, dogs consume food which is broken - down through metabolic processes to release energy for activities like running, playing, and maintaining bodily functions.
• Responds and adjusts to changes: Yes, dogs can respond to stimuli in their environment such as a human's command, a new smell, or a change in temperature. They can adjust their behavior accordingly, like coming when called or seeking shade when hot.
• Reproduce: Yes, dogs reproduce sexually. Female dogs go into heat cycles and can mate with male dogs to produce offspring.

For a fast - moving stream:

• Uses energy: No, a stream is a non - living entity. It moves due to the force of gravity and the topography of the land, not through metabolic processes like living organisms.
• Responds and adjusts to changes: No, while a stream may change its course or speed due to external factors like rainfall or landslides, it does not have a biological response mechanism. It is a physical response to environmental changes.
• Reproduce: No, a stream cannot reproduce in the biological sense as it is not a living organism.
