Question

A student claims that a leaf is living, and a plastic leaf is nonliving. Which statement provides evidence to support the claim?

The plastic leaf can reproduce.

The plastic leaf can grow and develop.

The plastic leaf lacks a cellular structure.

The plastic leaf lacks the ability to move.

Answer 1

The plastic leaf lacks a cellular structure, and it lacks the ability to move

Step-by-step explanation:

The plastic leaf cannot reproduce, so the first one is false. The plastic leaf cannot grow and develop, so the second choice is false. The plastic leaf does lack a cellular structure, since only living things have cells, and it cannot move on its own, so 3 & 4 are true.
