Non-Living Factors Affect Living Things

In our experiment our team answered the question, “Why do living organism respond to their environment factors?” using pill bugs or Armadillidiidae. Our purpose to answer the question is to understand the characteristics of a living organism. Specifically, the characteristic of how Living Things Respond to Their Environment. Our hypotenuses that where that if the pill bug is exposed to water, then the pill bug will be close to water; If the pill exposed to heat, then the pill bugs will stay a distance and our third hypotenuse is if the pill bugs is exposed to a stable environment exposed to nothing, then it will search for a suitable environment. The purpose of using pill bugs is to have a creature that can be manipulated and record data easily.

Throughout generations in literature, “to live deliberately” has been the goal and purpose of life. As Alexander Supertramp (aka Chris McCandless) said, “The very basic core of a man’s living spirit is his passion for adventure. The joy of life comes from our encounters with new experiences, and hence there is no greater joy than to have an endlessly changing horizon, for each day to have a new and different sun” (57).

The concept of life from the way one can see it is most similar to the way Ferris Jabr thinks about it. In Ferris Jabr’s Why Nothing is Truly Alive (2014) he talks about how nothing is actually alive and all of it is a concept. This is the way one can perceive how life is because perception is relative depending what has been taught. In reality nothing is alive because there is no one concrete definition of what life means. In the article “Why Nothing Is Truly Alive” Jabr is arguing that the creation of the Strandbeest by Dutch artist Theo Jansen is the same, in the sense of being alive, to an animal or plant. Also he is saying that nothing is actually alive too. Now the Standbeest is an animal made up of plastic tubes, wood, and sails. They move from wind hitting the sails and that moves the machine. Life does not actually have to be alive it can be things that one may want life to be.

Life, it might be argued, is the distinguishing feature of all organisms and may most usefully be thought of as involving various kinds of complex systems of organization providing individual organisms with the ability to make use of those energy sources available to them for both self maintenance and reproduction. Underlying this deceptively persuasive definition, however, lie those persistent traditional problems inherent in the search for an essential, distinctive substance characteristic of all forms of life. Additionally, as evolution theory makes clear, there is the problem of borderline instances, organisms of which it is not easy to say whether or not they may be defined as being alive. One such case

Making everyday count shapes life’s journey by helping you gain a positive outlook and making life more enjoyable. If you make the conscious decision to live your life to the fullest, you will find that by working hard and remaining positive, life will seem better. In The Last Lecture by Randy Pausch, the author emphasizes the importance of making everyday count and working hard to achieve your dreams, because you never know when your life can be taken from you. After Pausch was diagnosed with life terminating cancer, he made the decision to remain positive and write a final lecture about achieving your dreams and embracing life instead of letting his prognosis negatively affect him. In The Last Lecture, Pausch shares how he was able to make

How does the growth among living and nonliving things differ?: Some nonliving things grow by gathering more of the same material of which they are made. However, the growth of living things develops from the enlargement and division of cells.

| There is no eternal Life when we die that is it we get put in the ground, nothing else happens except we decompose.

we do not realize how things that we do every day are a determination of not only our current but

The human body has evolved to what you are right now, a hopefully complex and amazing functional being. We are made of organ systems which are made up of organs, that which are made up of tissues, and tissues are made up of cells. It goes even more in depth, but that is the grasp of the human complexity, the fact that we are made up of so much and that is made up of things as well. Here's a riddle, what's extremely small and you can't see, but helps to keep you alive everyday? Well this is easy, your cells, but those aren't the only ones. Let's talk about viruses and diseases, being bedridden for a day and you feel like you're going to die, well apparently what can kill you, makes you stronger. In the explanatory book, "Survival of the Sickest", Dr Sharon Moalem allows us to grasp the knowledge that our cells are not the only ones that benefited our longevity of life, but the stuff that can kill us, has also done the trick. Hemochromatosis, Diabetes, and Glucose-6-phosphate-dehydrogenase deficiency (G6PD deficiency or favism), are all things that can kill is easily without the proper treatment. However, long ago, these are the same that would help us live longer. Basically evolution wanted you to live another 5 years, then another 5 days.

“In truth, the ‘dead being’ can see nothing but ‘dead things’ and must therefore worship ‘death’ instead of ‘life’.” Because of that stunning ‘Cosmic Ignorance’, believing that ‘The Universe’ is a ‘LIFELESS COLOSSUS’, terrestrial humans live in Disharmony with The Laws of Life, disregard own Eternal Identity, practice Egoistic instead of ‘Universal Love’, and glorify ‘Killing Principle’. As philosopher George Lucacs defined the prevailing mental condition in our civilization as “Spiritual Emptiness”. Therefore, one cannot be surprised with the false outcome regarding this Paramount Life Riddle. (Quote from ‘LIVETS BOG’ Vol IV, chapter

Have you ever thought of the life of something that you eat everyday like meat or fish? The cows that create the burgers and steaks that you slap on the grill, have you ever thought about how they grew and thrived? I know I never really did until I started my degree in biology. There are so many different types of animals and they all have different body structures and different ways of surviving. They are living things just like anyone in the world.

You might say living is something we are obligated to do. A gift we are given by our parents, a blessing in which we need to be grateful for. Well, not everything in life is easy to say the least. People in our world fight day by day to survive. You don 't realize, but it is extremely easy to give up. But what keeps us going? What triggers our brain to gain endurance to not give up hope? The human brain is not only one of the most crucial organs in the human body; it is also one of the most complex. Our brain has the ability to motivate

What is life? Life consists of experiences, challenges, and achievements; all of which are building blocks that essentially create ones path to success. In one’s lifetime they can experience tough and difficult challenges. Sometimes these challenges become unbearable, especially when the odds are against you. However, going against all odds is something everyone is capable of doing, and to overcome these challenges everyone needs to have a “never quit” attitude in life. If we develop it, we'll overcome quite a bit.

What makes you human? Functioning organs and flowing blood would be a good answer but outside of that what actually makes you human? It’s the interactions that you make with others. It’s you not just surviving, but it’s you living. When it comes down to the end of the day and you think back you will realize that survival is not enough.

Life has no meaning if you don't have the urge to wake up the next morning to see the next day. Many people live their lives unhappy since they have no purpose or meaning to fulfill or satisfy their needs. Purpose to me is something to live for and something to look forward to in life. Without purpose and meaning in life there is no point of living at all. Recently in the existentialism unit we’ve been reading, I learned that without a passion to live, one’s life means nothing and is a waste of a soul. Based on the previous books I’ve read, I learned I am happy because I have things to look forward to in life and to wake up the next morning to enjoy the new day. Three elements that give me purpose and meaning in my life are my family, my
