they only work on living things that still function

DNA, RNA, and proteins are bio-molecules found in living organisms, and their sequences and structures are specific to each species. By comparing these molecules, scientists can identify similarities and differences to determine evolutionary relationships between living things. Non-living entities do not possess these molecules, making it impossible to compare them using DNA, RNA, and proteins.

What is a community of living and non living components in an environment?
living things is only in the living things which means is the community.
Do you have a population of non living things?
No you do not. In taxonomy, a populatio strictly applys to only living things. nonliving things are not included in taxonomy.
What is the theory that living things came only from living things?
This theory is known as biogenesis, which states that living organisms can only arise from pre-existing living organisms. This principle contrasts with the earlier theory of spontaneous generation, which suggested that living organisms could arise from non-living matter.
What is meant by the statement living things do not exist in isolation?
By the nature of being a living thing, they will interact with OTHER living things around them. To fully understand them, they must be studied not only for themselves, but by how they interact with other living things around them.
Can fungi feed on both living and non living organisms?
it can only feed at dead living things such as dead animals and plants
Is proteins made of cells?
No. Only living things are made of cells. Proteins are not living.
Compare spontaneous generation and biogenesis?
bogenisis-theory that living things come only from other living things . spontaneous generation-idea that living things come from nonliving things.
What is the number of different amino acids from which all proteins in living things are made?
there are only twenty different amino acid
Do only living things breathe?
Yes, only living things breathe.
What are things made only of carbon hydrogen oxygen?
Some things made only of carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen are carbohydrates (such as sugars and starches), fats, and proteins. These organic compounds are essential for providing energy and building blocks for living organisms.
What is living thing virus?
Virus can not be termed as a living thing or organism. Viruses can not replicate themselves, they are dependent on its host. The only similarity is it contain genetic material such as DNA or RNA like living things which codes for its proteins.
How living things adapt?
Only by the force of which living things or nature allow.
Is a virus considered living?
no because it is only genetic material encased in proteins
Virus is considered living?
no because it is only genetic material encased in proteins
Is the cell theory only true for living things that are small?
Yes, it is only true for living things that are small.
What is a community of living and non living components in an environment?
living things is only in the living things which means is the community.
Are living things made up cells?
Yes, all living things are made up of cells and only living things.
