Question

1. identify which graphic best shows growth and which best shows development.

a snowball grows when you roll it over fresh snow! why isnt it a living thing? the growth of the snowball is not internal. it does not grow by producing more cells like organisms. it just adds on more material to the outside. someone has to roll the snowball. it wont grow bigger by just sitting there and it certainly cannot change liquid water or solid ice into new snow from which it can grow larger. this is one of the differences between growth of a living thing and growth of nonliving thing.

1. how is the growth of a living thing different from the growth of a nonliving thing?

Explanation:

Growth in living things involves internal cell - production, while non - living things like a snowball grow by adding external material. The grasshopper and butterfly life - cycle graphics show development as they involve changes in form and function over time. For the growth question, the text explains that living things grow internally by producing cells, and non - living things grow by external addition.

Answer:

1. Both graphics show development (life - cycle changes). There is no clear graphic that best shows just growth.
2. The growth of a living thing is internal, by producing more cells, while the growth of a non - living thing is external, by adding more material to the outside.
