Question

When the petal is removed from the flower, will it remain alive according to the characteristics of life?

Answer 1

Answer:

Explanation:

It would neither be able to show REPRODUCTION nor it will respond to any type of STIMULI, so because of NO CONCIOUSNESS, The petal will be considered non living. 4. It will not carry out any METABOLIC processes also

Answer 2

Petal as a whole is not alive.

It lacks almost all the criteria required to be called a living being.

Reproduction,growth,metabolism, stimuli ,etc. are absent.

However a petal in the presence of a flower(in unplucked state) shall be called living.
