Claim evidence reason
P.M.C
Program metabolism container
Living /non- living examples
dog
cat
not virus
levels of organization
atom, molecule, cell, tissue organ, organ systems, organism population, community, ecosystem, biosphere
Why does a rock not fit the P.M.C model
because it has no reproduction it does not have a metabolism and it does not have a cell membrane.
What is DNA and RNA a part of in the P.M.C
Programming
Why is the reasoning important
it can be used to back up evidence and sum up your claim
What do viruses and bacteria have that are similar
Bacteria and viruses can both reproduce, and they both have a protective layer.
What do viruses and bacteria not have in common
Bacteria can reproduce on its own, a virus cannot. bacteria can take energy and use it for its metabolism, viruses cant, and viruses do not have a cell membrane they have an envelope.
Use C.E.R
I believe that an elephant is a living thing. I believe that an elephant is a living thing because it can reproduce, it takes in energy and has a metabolism, and has cell membranes to keep what needs to be inside the cell in. If we look at the Indian elephant you can see that they can reproduce, use energy and they have a cell membrane and other layers of protection from the environment. If Indian elephants are living than the other elephants must be too. Therefore I believe my claim is correct because elephants show sighs that they are a living thing.
