Think about the following items: a candle flame, a balloon floating in the air, and bubbles blown from a bubble wand. describe characteristics that could indicate life in these items, and characteristics that show they are not alive.

The living things are characterized by seven factors which includes movement, metabolism, respiration, sensitivity, growth, Excretion, nutrition and reproduction. The characteristics which indicates life in given items are as follows:

1. A candle flame: When we light the candle, the size of the flame is small and it grows as the wax melts.

2. Balloon floating in the air: As the balloon is floating it shows movement.

3. Bubbles blown from a bubble wand: It shows growth as well as movement.

The characteristic that shows that they are not alive include none of the three items performs excretion, metabolism and they are not made up of cell.

as the gila monster consumes the eggs or young of the desert cottontail and gambel's quail, thus its main food supply is only accessible for a restricted time duration every year. however, for this, the gila monsters exhibit three adaptations, which elevate their survival rate in the desert condition.  

first, is that they possess huge bodies, and can consume greater concentrations of food during a small period. secondly, they require to feed infrequently as they can accumulate fat in their tails. ultimately, their rate of metabolism is very low, so that they can burn their reservoirs of fat gradually.
