Question

THIS IS AN EMERGENCY PLEASE HELP ME I WILL MARK BRAINLLIEST!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Are atoms and molecules alive? Why or why not?


(This is 7th grade science)

Answer 1

Nope :))

Step-by-step explanation:

Although molecules and atoms are both apart of something that is living, this doesn't mean a single atom or molecule can live on their own.

(The attachment above explains this better than me)

Answer 2

No

Step-by-step explanation:

Atoms and molecules are not alive as they do not exhibit all, or any, of the eight characteristics of life. Cell theory also states that a cell is the smallest unit of life, and atoms and molecules are much, much smaller than a cell — in fact, they make up cells.

Therefore, they are not considered living things.

I hope this helped you, and if you would like a more in-depth explanation, please let me know!
