Can metabolic reactions demonstrated in a test tube (called 'in vitro' test) be called living?

Ginkgo biloba is called a living fossil.

Test tube baby technique is called…

Can cells like Xylem or mature human RBCs called living?

Metabolism is a defining feature of all living organisms without exception. Isolated metabolic reactions in vitro are not living things but surely living reactions. Comment.

Apparatus: Test tube, glass rod, beaker, Bunsen burner, etc. Chemicals: Hydrochloric acid, ammonia solution, magnesium strip, quick lime, etc. Activity 1: Take a small amount of hydrochloric acid in a test tube. Heat the test tube. Dip a glass rod in the ammonia solution and hold on the top of the test tube. You will observe a white smoke emanating from the tip of the glass rod. What must have happened?

What structural and functional attributes must a cell have to be called a living cell?

Apparatus: Two test tubes, bent tube, rubber cork, burner, etc. Chemicals: Calcium carbonate, freshly prepared lime water. Procedure: Take some calcium carbonate in a test tube. Fit a bent tube to this test tube with the help of a rubber cork. Insert the other end of the bent tube in the freshly prepared lime water taken in the other test tube. Heat the powdered calcium carbonate in the first test tube strongly. What will you observe?

Organisms living in salty areas are called as.

Apparatus: Test tube, conical flask, balance, etc. Chemicals: Sodium chloride and silver nitrate. Procedure: i. Take sodium chloride solution in a conical flask and silver nitrate solution in a test tube. ii. Tie a thread to the test tube and insert it carefully into the conical flask. Make the conical flask air tight by fitting a rubber cork. iii. Weigh the conical flask with the help of a balance. iv. Now tilt the conical flask and mix the solution present in the test tube with the solution in the conical flask. v. Weigh the conical flask again. Did any insoluble substance form?

The rate of reaction at specific instant is called
