Question

A car 'eats' fuel, 'breathes' air, 'excretes' smoke and 'moves' from place to place. Why is it not considered to be living?

Answer 1

A car is not living because:

1. A car is not made up of cells. It is made up of the atoms and molecules of steel, plastic, etc.
2. A car does not grow.
3. A car cannot respond to stimulus.
4. A car cannot reproduce.
