Which of the following describes an essential characteristic of all living beings?

The Wooden Log Debate

Textbook question about whether a wooden log is living or non-living.

Evaluate the debate between Charan and Charu about the wooden log.

Charan says that a wooden log is non-living as it cannot move.
Charu counters it by saying that it is living because it is made of wood obtained from trees.

Give your arguments in favour or against the two statements.

Evaluate Charan's Argument (Log is non-living because it cannot move)*

Focus on: the 7 characteristics of living beings.

Evaluate Charu's Argument (Log is living because it came from a tree)*

Focus on: the difference between something that 'is' living versus something that 'was once part of' a living thing (now dead).

Final Conclusion*

Focus on: consolidating your biological reasoning.
