Answer:

popcorn kernels aren't living things

Explanation:

characteristics they have that show proof they are living organisms:

• movement when exposed to heat

• irritability/sensitivity since they react to change of temperature

• growth since when they are exposed to high temperatures they grow and become bigger

We can determine if they are living or not by:

• seeing if they respire

• seeing if they need nourishment

• seeing if they can excrete

• seeing if they can reproduce

In conclusion they aren't living things
