Answers
Answer:
The characteristics of living organisms are:
(i) Growth and development- Young organisms (plants and animals) grow and develop into adults.
(ii) Movement- Animals exhibit a wide range of movements.
(iii) Reproduction- The biological process by which new organisms (offsprings) are produced from organisms of the same kind.
(iv) Respiration- Oxygen is used for the oxidation of food and carbon dioxide is produced.
(v) Responsiveness- All living organisms respond to light, heat and the changes around them.
(vi) Excretion- The process by which metabolic wastes and other non-useful, toxic wastes such as faeces are eliminated from an organism is called excretion. Plants also remove their wastes.
(vii) Adaptation- Changes in the structure or behaviour of an organism that allow it to survive in a particular habitat are called adaptations.
