hi this is ryan conklin. i think the reason why we are alive is to keep the world in balance. i say this because without us there would an abundance of animals, such as cows. also we keep some animals that cant be alive on their own alive. also without us maybe the animals would go into chaos.

Aneesha Usman said...

im aneesha usman, and i think we are alive because we need to keep the human society alive, by pro creating future generations. We are apart of the circle of life and if we weren't alive then other animals wouldn't exist and there would also not be much plant life.

Hi this is Mary but Charlotte....I think the reason we are alive is because we are made up of cells that split constantly to make more cells for red and white bloods cells to keep blood flowing to skin cells that continue to help us develop and make more skin... and many more cells to help various parts of the body... we also eat food and drink water to give us energy so that are heart can continue to pump and make more blood...there are many reasons why we are still alive and more are being discovered today..but we are alive because we have a purpose on this earth...and without us there would be no earth...just another planet.... thanks Mr. Burns..

P.S i hate cockroaches!!!! :)

I am alive because my heart is caring oxygen to my whole body and my brain is working. I have all the 7 characteristics that living things need to stay alive.

We are all alive because we have a body that allows us to function properly. We can breathe oxygen created by the plants around us. We are dependent on many things to live, without plants we would not have any oxygen to breathe. -Sofia Muscatello

Sharon Shaoulian said...

Hi its Sharon Shaoulian, and I think that we are alive because of many reasons. For example, we have a brain that commands the rest of our body and tells our other organs exactly what to do and when to do it. We have plants around us that create Oxygen for us to breathe. The food we eat is used to create energy for our bodies to function properly. I have all of the characteristics of a living organism.

1. I am made up of cells
2. I adapt and respond to the environment.
3. I maintain homeostasis.
4. I am based on a genetic code.
5. Evolution
6. I consume energy.
7. Reproduce
8. I grow and develop

This is why I am alive.

- humans are made up of cells
- humans adapt and respond to the environment.
- humans maintain homeostasis.
- humans am based on a genetic code.
- humans evolve
- humans consume energy.
- humans reproduce
- humans grow and develop

those are 8 reasons why we are alive! :)

The reason we are alive is because we are made up of cells, adapt and respond to the environment, maintain homeostasis, are based on a genetic code, evolve, consume energy, reproduce, and we grow and develop.

Alma Ceja said...

I'm Alma Ceja. I think the reason I am alive is because I am made up of many things that keep me alive. For example my cells they are a form of oxygen that lets me breath in most of my body and help me stay alive.I do also believe that we are alive because we need each others help to survive every hardship in our lives. I am very happy and thankful I am alive

Max Richley said...

I am alive because the plants give off oxygen that I can breathe in, which goes throughout the different cells in my body, including my heart. Also, Eating and drinking help give my body energy. I also have the seven characteristics of living things.

Hey this is Paul Tadross, Period 1.
I think the reason why I am are alive is because my parents wanted to have kids. Once that happened, the reason why is because oxygen runs through veins and provides all the other cells with oxygen. To do that we need our heart pumping which is another reason why I am alive. So I think the reason why I am alive right now is because my heart is pumping and oxygen to breath.

there are mainly 8 reasons why we are alive
- people and other organisms are made up of cells
- we adapt and respond to the environment.
- people maintain homeostasis.
- everybody is based on a genetic code.
- everything alive evolves
- we consume energy.
- humans and animals reproduce
- we grow and develop

Sorry, my name is Nicolette Battista and I have you 1st period.

Hi I'm Meaghan Kay and I am in your 1st period class. I think the reason humans are alive is because we do many things.
*we are made up of cells
* everyone adapt and respond to the environment.
*we maintain homeostasis.
*humans have an original genetic code.
*humans evolve
*everyone consumes energy.
* Sexual Reproduction, not asexual
*humans grow and develop
And what other thing on the planet would be at the top of the food chain?

Kamkam said...

Hi I am Kami Kurisu. I think I am alive because I am made up of many cells and organs that keep my body going. We, as humans, have blood cells, brain cells, hearts, brains...the list goes on. We also have oxygen that we use to breathe. Without these things, no one would be alive on this earth.

Audrey Azevedo said...

Im Audrey Azevedo from period-2,and there's a scientific explanation for why there is life on this planet, but i wont get into that.....the reason we are alive i think is because we help the earth develop its essential needs to stay liveable and our bodies have the opportunity to reproduce and give off energy from the environment. We also have a brain that helps function our body to be able to breathe, run, walk, talk, eat....etc. i think we are very fortunate to have such interseting and marvelous organs that help us live the lives we are living.Also if we werent alive the earth would be an empty place without people, animals, or plants.That's why we are alive.....=)

Hello, my name is Alexandra Lee from period 1. I think that we are alive because we are protecting certain species of plants and animals that the world can't live without. We also keep the life cycle alive, we consume, reproduce, change the earth, die, and our children will do the same.

SophieL said...

Hi im Sophie leveque from your first period class. I think humans are alive because of the 8 characteristics of life and also because are bodies are so great and can use energy, and make cells, and work all our organs. Withought are bodies we would be nothing.

Paige said...

Hi I'm Paige Peplow (period 1)...
We are alive because we all have the characteristics of living things! We are also alive because of plants. If it weren't for plants, we wouldn't be able to breathe. We stay alive by taking care of our bodies... eating right and exercising.

Hi i'm Shannon Boler and i think we are alive because if we weren't, there would be an excess of certain types of animals... also some environments might also die (even tho we do kill some ourselves) without human help, same with some animal species.

Shanay Fischer said...

Hey, this is Shanay Fischer, from your second period class. I think we are alive because we have cells that help our body to grow and develop. We can reproduce and create DNA in organisms when doing so. Also we can respond to stimuli in our environment and control the conditions inside of our body. We are one of the organisms which can evolve over time, which help to create future generations along with reproduction. Without us on this earth, everything would be unstable. See you in class!

Jack Hadley said...

hi. we are alive because our heart is pumping oxygen into our blood .
we also eat food then break it down into energy and use the energy.

Anonymous said...

this is courtney mcintosh and i think we are alive, because if we weren't alive, the balance of nature and animals of the food chain would be off balance. humans also effect the way other animals and plants live their livges. sometimes, we affect them for the worse, but we also affect them for the better. if we weren't around some would have to fend for themselves, causing many species to become extinct. we tame life on Earth.

My personal opinion is that God made us and that is why we are alive. The reason we stay alive is because we breathe the oxygen that flows through our cells to the different parts of our body. We get this oxygen from the plants around us. We get our energy from our food and drinks. And that is the reason we are alive.

Shayna Tabor said...

My name is Shayna Tabor. I think the reason we are alive is because our brain and our systems allow us to function properly. We gain oxygen from plants which we use to breath, and for our hearts and therefore our blood. We are able to adapt and grow with our ever changing environment as well.

Erika Richards said...

Hi this is Erika Richards from your second period class.one of the reasons why i think were alive is because we have all of the characteristics of a living organism.Another reason we are alive is because we create things that help us improve and mantain them while doing the same to the world around us.

vicky said...

hi my name is Vicky Gates from your 2nd period class. I think that we are alive because we are made up of cells, we reproduce, we all have a genetic code, we grow and develop, we obtain nutrients, respond to the environment, we mainstain a stable environment, and we change over time also known as evolution.

Anonymous said...

Hi my name is Troy Arnold and we are alive because we evolve, adapt, have a stable internal temperature, reproduce, and are made up of cells. Also, we obtain nutrients.

We are alive because we are made up of cells, we reproduce, we grow, we have DNA, we obtain and use materials and energy, we have homeostasis, we evolve, and we respond to stimuli in our environment. We also rely on the other living things in our environment in order to sustain our lives; for food, oxygen, etc. So it is extremely important to protect the trees, glaciers, endangered species, etc., in order to keep the circle of life in motion and help us survive.

I'm alive for a purpose. I'm not sure what my purpose is yet but i believe everyone on the earth has one. I am alive beacause we are made up of cells, adapt and respond to the environment, maintain homeostasis, and are based on a genetic code, we evolve, consume energy, reproduce, and we grow and develop.

Anonymous said...

I'm Ailani Hause and i think i am alive because we are made up of many cells and we go through change with growth and development. We also adapt to the environment and we maintain homeostasis. There are many other reasons we are alive also, but those are some of the main ones.

I am alive because of the 8 characteristics of living things:

-I am made up of units called cells.
-I can reproduce.
-I am based on a universal genetic code.
-I grow and develop.
-I obtain and use materials and energy.
-I respond to the environment.
-I maintain a stable internal environment [homeostasis].
-I change over time.

hi im laura in 2nd period, well i think that im alive because without me or any other human being alive the food chain would not be the same, there are other animals and plants that depend on us to be alive as well. i also think im alive to keep reproduction occuring and so that we have future generations.

Anonymous said...

im stephanie verheyen, and i think i am alive because of the plants in this world. they give off oxygen so i can breathe it in and live. also i think that it has to do with the way my body is built just the right way and with the right stuff in it to keep me alive. everything in my body is made just right to keep me healthy and to keep me going.

Cece Beck said...

Hi this is Cece Beck and I am alive becausewe breath in oxygen from the trees. My heart is pumping blood throughout my whole body and my brain is working to help my body function. I also eat and drink throughout the day to help keep my body energized.

Hi, this is Patrick Conway. This is a very general question, but I believe we are alive because we hold the 8 characteristics of living things:
1. we are consisted of cells
2. we respond to the environment
3. we maintain a constant internal temperature (homeostasis)
4. we reproduce
5. we grow and develop
6. we consume energy
7. we are based on a common genetic cone (dna)
8. we evolve over time

charlotte belling said...

There are many different, important reasons why I am alive. First of all, I have the seven characteristics of a living thing. This includes my cells, my reproduction process, my universal genetic code (DNA), my growth and developement, my ability to obtain and use materials and energy, my ability to respond in my environment, my ability to maintain a stable internal environment, and the way I change over time. Also, the environment around me helps me live. For example, the trees give off oxygen for me to breathe. There are just a few reasons why I am alive.

well, i believe the reason that we are alive is because of millions of years of evolution. Our bodies have developed almost perfection to survive against all the daily threats. By the way, i'm in your second period.

biz buckingham said...

Hi this is Biz Buckingham from your first period class. I am alive because i have all of the characteristics of a living thing. Also, I breathe in the oxygen that trees and plants give off, and the oxygen and blood travel throughout my heart and other places in my body. The food that i eat everyday also gives the energy to do things.

Cameron Cuevas said...

I am alive because of sexual reduction.

Hii Mr. Burns this is Cristina Faulconer (1st period). I belive the reason we r alive is because of the plants around us providing one of the most essintial nessities of live-oxygen. Also the evolution of not only humans but animals contribes to life. More importanly is the preservation of the species.

Anonymous said...

The reason we are alive is because we maintain homeostasis long enough to reproduce and carry on our species.

kent willett said...

hello i am nicholas kent willett i got by my middle name kent. I think the reason that we are alive is because of our cells our always dividing creating more and more cells. The heart pumps blood throughout the body and this blood carries oxygen which powers all the cells to do their jobs. If the heart were to stop beating we would not be alive. Also the brain tells all our cells what to do and how to perform.

we are alive because we are part of society, and without humans, the food chain wouldnt work. we protect and help animals or plants farther down the line than us. also we are alive because we are made up of cells,adapt to the enviroment, maintain homeostasis, are based on a genetic code, consume energy, reproduce, and grow and develop. this is why we are alive.

hey i think we are alive to keep this world functioning. So far the humans have came along way with improving inventions for living.

Hello i think we are alive because if we werent alive we wouldnot keep the world in order and in balance. Also we would not discover the amazing things in life and the animals would not have any help and would easily go crazy

I think we're all alive because of the 8 characteristics of living things and also because of nature.
Like trees.(:
They help us stay alive.
