Question

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 a nonliving thing. 24. how is the growth of a living thing different from the growth of a nonliving thing?

Explanation:

Living things grow by producing more cells internally. Non - living things like a snowball grow by having material added to their outside.

Answer:

The growth of a living thing is internal, through producing more cells, while the growth of a non - living thing is external, by adding more material to the outside.
