CANCER CELLS

Is cancer cell a living or a non-living thing?

There are eight characteristics to determine whether a thing is a living or a non-living thing. They are: Movement, Excretion, Respiration, Irritability, Growth, Reproduction, Adaptability and Nutrition. Not all living things have to possess all eight characteristics. Even if a plant does not move, it is still a living thing.



Movement: Cancer cells break away from the original tumor and travel to other areas of the body, where they keep growing and can go on to form new tumors. When the cancer cells travel to other areas of the body, it is actually moving around.

Growth: Cancer cells have characteristics that can be linked to their ability to grow and divide uncontrollably.

Reproduction: Cancer cells do not stop reproducing after they have doubled for about 50 to 60 times.

Nutrition: If cancer cells are supplied with nutrients, they will divide themselves over and over again, time after time. This shows that if nutrients are provided, the cancer cell will keep on dividing.


Therefore, I would conclude that a cancer cell is a living thing.
