Name the four criteria of life.

Back 38

All life forms contain DNA, All life forms have a method by which they extract energy from the surroundings and converts it into energy that sustains them, All life forms can sense changes in their surroundings and respond to them, All life forms reproduce.

Front 39

Can science prove anything? why or why not?

Back 39

No it can not. Because the data used in the experiments might be flawed. The best it can say is that all known data support a given statement
