For the answer to the question above, there is no such thing as a non-living organism. Because organisms are only a term for living things.

1. Cellular structure: all living organisms generally have a cellular structure i.e., they are made up of one or more cells. 
<span>The protoplasm is the physical basis of life. </span>

<span>There is no such fundamental and structural unit called cell in non-living things. </span>

<span>2. metabolism : The various life processes taking place within the body of an organism is collectively termed metabolism. The metabolic processes can occur only in living organisms and not in nonliving things. </span>

<span>3. growth, repair and death : Growth consists of the living organism absorbing materials entirely different from those that make up its body and convert them into body building substances. Growth in non-living substances such as crystal is at the cost of material similar to that of which it consists. Same substance is added without conversion. </span>
<span>The growth is permanent, irreversible process in living organisms but can be reversed in non-living things. </span>
<span>Growth is different in different parts of the body of an organism. Growth is uniform throughout in the non-living things. </span>

<span>Respiration, nutrition,excretion, movement,irritability, reproduction, life span, death, evolvability are other properties of a living organism.</span>

How DNA polymerase, the double helix structure of DNA, and the base-pairing rules work together to produce two identical copies
Contact [7]
DNA structure, function and replication. DNA is a long molecule that consists of two strands of nucleotides twisted together in a long spiral called a double helix, the base-pairing rules describe which bases pair together in a DNA double helix, work together to produce two identical copies of the original DNA molecule=DNA structure; DNA funcution; RNA; replication; transcription; translation; the two strands are wound round each other to form a double helix. The two strands. Are joined together by hydrogen bonds between the bases, before every cell divison, so that one identical copy can go to each daughter cell =because the two strands of a DNA molcule have complementary base pairs, the nucleotide each can be used as a pattern or template to produce a complementary strand together then form a new DNA double helix, identical to the orginal. The enzyme DNA polymerase then moves along the exposed DNA strand

B. Eggs are known to contain cholesterol, which is a lipid. Did your experiment results indicate a presence of lipids in the alb
Darya [45]

Answer:

According to the result recorded, there was no cholesterol in the albumin solution. This is probably because the cholesterol is in the egg yolk and not the egg white. In order to get a positive response on the presence of cholesterol in eggs, an egg yolk albumin stock needs to be prepared. So using the same procedure as before and only replacing the egg yolk for the egg white, prepare a 0.5 mL of egg yolk with 4.5 mL distilled water mixture in a test tube. Follow the steps given in the lab manual to check for presence of lipids in this albumin stock. Take a filter paper and add one drop of Sudan III solution onto it, let it dry and then place a drop of the stock prepared and analyze if the color transfer happens.

Hope that answers the question, have a great day!

Coach Damien notices that some of his football players drink more water than others before Friday night games. He is interested
max2010maxim [7]

The independent variable is the amount of water consumed by the football players.

The dependent variable is the football players' endurance, measured by how many times they can run up and down the bleachers before catching their breaths.

The coach's hypothesis was that the more water consumed, the more endurance the players will have.

There is not a control group present in this experiment, but it would be the set of players who did not drink a bottle of water before practice.

The experimental group is the set of players who did drink a bottle of water before practice.

The constants in the experiment are the operational definitions of endurance (how he measures their endurance), the amount of water each player drinks throughout the week, and the players used in the experiment.

The lack of a set control group poses a threat to the accuracy of the experiment's results.
