What is Nonbiological?

Nonbiological refers to something that is not living or not of biological origin. In other words, it does not have the characteristics of life, such as the ability to grow, reproduce, respond to stimuli, and maintain homeostasis.

Examples of nonbiological things include:

1. Inorganic materials, such as rocks, metals, and plastics.
2. Machines and technology, such as computers, cars, and smartphones.
3. Chemicals and other synthetic substances, such as medications and pesticides.
4. Non-living organisms, such as viruses and prions.
5. Artificial objects, such as satellites and space probes.

In contrast, biological things are living organisms or materials that are derived from living organisms, such as plants, animals, and microorganisms. These things have the characteristics of life and can grow, reproduce, respond to stimuli, and maintain homeostasis.
