Answers
Answer:
These “things” can be categorized into two different types – Living and Non-living Things. All living things breathe, eat, grow, move, reproduce and have senses. Non-living things do not eat, grow, breathe, move and reproduce. They do not have senses.
Explanation:
Characteristics of Living Things
Following are the important characteristics of living things:
Living things exhibit locomotory motion, they move. Animals are able to move as they possess specialized locomotory organs, for example – Earthworms move through the soil surface through longitudinal and circular muscles. Plants move in order to catch sunlight for photosynthesis
Living things respire. Respiration is a chemical reaction, which occurs inside cells to release energy from the food. Transport of gases takes place. The food that is ingested through the process of digestion is broken down to release energy that is utilized by the body to produce water and carbon dioxide as by-products.
Living things are sensitive to touch (and other stimuli as well) and have the capability to sense changes in their environment.
They grow. Living things mature and grow through different stages of development.
One of the striking features is that living things are capable of producing offsprings of their own kind through the process of reproduction, wherein genetic information is passed from the parents to the offsprings.
