Atoms are not alive, still, this animation got me thinking
If we breath in air to get oxygen (atmosphere is only 23% O2) then exhale CO2 as a waste product,
No real exchange occurs
Like, the O2 goes in, gets utilised by tissues, gets Carbon attached forming carbon dioxide, then
gets exhaled? Is the O2 just a medium that gets contaminated by carbon?
Goddamit I'm having PTSD about the complexity of cellular respiration
Stupid Krebs cycle, stupid electron transport chain

there are more shit going on in the equation
C6H12O6 + 6 O2 → 6 CO2 + 6 H2O + heat

>+ heat
While heat is a byproduct of pretty much any chemical reaction, isn't it more appropriately
C6H12O6 + 6 O2 → 6 CO2 + 6 H2O + energy?

humans that breathe air should be banned from this post

what's to say what is alive and what is not alive?
seriously, we have a good concept of when something is "alive" but nobody can really put their
finger on it.

I copied it from wiki but I saw in other sources they have energy instead so I guess it's the
same thing

bacteria are alive,
while viruses aren't
really, they're just nanomachines floating around until they randomly end up in your cell,
stealing your nuclii

sounds good but im sure there are some people that disagree with that

according to chemistry anything organic is alive
not in a sense humans are but that helps sorting things out

That is debatable, viruses don't necessarily fit the category of 'being alive' (e..g the are not
cells, they lack nuclei, but they still perform a function, a purpose, even if it's usually
pathogenic)

There is no dead matter
all is alive and conscious, either above or below our current position on the spectrum.
Our physical organs present us a warped image of reality it being only a fraction of the whole.
To base out assumptions solely on them is to abondon reason.

Show this animation to some Vegans and see how many decide to voluntarily kill themselves.
