Question

Among metabolism and self consciousness which is the defining feature of all the living organism

Answer 1

Hey Friend,
___________________________________________________________

Question: Among metabolism and self consciousness which is the defining feature of all the living organism.

solution:

There are many features for a living organisms

locomotion

growth

reproduction

metabolism 

self consciousness 

and many more 
 
out of which growth, locomotion, reproduction cannot be considered as defining features of all living oraganism as

1) the sand dunes which are non living also grow due to deposition of sand but they are not living.

2) the plant which are living do not show any locomotion.

3) Infertile couples who are living cannot reproduce due to  infertility.

Hence this supports why growth locomotion and reproduction are not considered as defining feature of all living organism .

Coming to metabolism all plants as well as animals show metabolism.
Hence it is considered as defining feature of all living organism.

coming to self consciousness both animals as well as plants respond to  stimuli hence self consciousness can be considered as defining feature of all living organism

Answer 2

AnswEr:

Both metabolism and consciousness are the defining feature of all the living organisms.

ExTra:

There are 2 non defining and 3 defining features of an organism.

Defining features :

• Metabolism
• Cellular organisation
• consciousness

Non defining features :

• Growth
• Reproduction

But, growth and reproduction can be defining too. Like, growth is of two types and reproductive is also of two types. One of them is defining and other one is non defining. So, we can say that, growth and reproductive are both defining and non defining feature of living organisms.
