19) James is given four liquid samples. One sample contains living things, but the other three do
not. Each sample appears cloudy, but James cannot see with his unaided eyes what the
material is in each sample. He is asked to identify each sample as containing either living or
nonliving things, by looking at the structure of the material in each sample.

a. Describe an investigation that would help James see the structure of the material in each
sample and identify which sample contains living things.

b. Identify the structural evidence James needs in order to identify the sample that contains
living things.
