8. What can you conclude regarding the living or nonliving nature of
the specimen collected from the log?
9. This specimen is a slime mold. Why is it difficult to determine
whether a slime mold is living or nonliving?

1. the energy lost to disorder metabolism     -entropy

2. related to or possessing motion potential     -kinetic

3. all of the chemical reactions in an organism required for maintenance of the processes of life entropy     -metabolism

4. possible; ability to go into action or perform work kinetic     -potential

5. the study of energy and its transformations thermodynamics     -thermodynamics

frogs. the lower the ph the higher the acid content. frogs have the highest tolerance in this scenario.

i think the answer is c hope this
