Living things are derived from single units and show several characteristics such as growth respiration, response to stimuli, homeostasis, evolution, and reproduction.

Explanation:

The natural world comprises several biotic or living and abiotic, non-living factors. Cells, are considered the smallest unit capable of supporting life. All living, or biotic factors must be able to grow, carry out respiration- a process that produces energy, and reproduce (pass on genes). They also show some level of organization or complexity, and respond to stimuli. Additionally, living organisms exhibit homeostasis or control over their internal environment and evolve or change over time to adapt to their external environments.

Mitochondria is the cell organelle that produced the energy that is needed in the body system in form of atp, that is why it is called the power house of the cell. energy is needed by the living organisms to carry out the activities which sustain life. if the mitochondria is destroyed atp will not be produced. if the mitochondria is destroyed, energy production will stop and the affected living organism will not have the energy to carry out the necessary life processes; this will lead to the death of the organism.

answer: carbon 14 can only be used to determine the age of the organisms that were once living, and igneous rocks are non living.

explanation:

carbon 14 dating is used to determine the age of the sample by estimating the amount of carbon 14 present in the sample and then comparing it with a reference standard.carbon 14 is a isotope of carbon which is radioactive and unstable. carbon 14 is assimilated by all plants and animals throughout their life from carbon dioxide. however, one the organisms die they stop this assimilation and the carbon 14 content starts to decrease.by knowing how much of carbon 14 is left in an organism after his death, one can estimate the age of the organism. the materials whose age can be estimated by carbon 14 method are the organic compounds. however, some inorganic compounds such as aragonite shell can also be dated.however, if we consider the igneous rocks it is a non living component which never accumulated carbon 14 in it and thus, we cannot use carbon 14 dating method to estimate its age.
