Question

classifies the substance and living being on the basic of their characteristics, structure and function.​

Answer 1

Answer:

Welcome to the exciting and amazing world of living things.

Go outside and look around you. Look at the sky, the soil, trees,

plants, people, animals. Nature is all around you if you have the

eyes to see it. Count how many living things you can see.

What is it that makes living things different from things that

are not alive?

Biology is the study of living things. It deals with what all living

things can do, how they do it and why they do it. In biology, there is

always a relationship between the structure of an organism, its

function, and its adaptation to its function or environment. Biology

also tackles the important topics such as population, environmen-

tal issues as well as health issues.

In this course, you will learn to identify different kinds of living

things and how to classify them. Most of the six activities in this

unit will take you only five to ten minutes to complete.

This unit is divided into five sections:

A Characteristics of living organisms

B Classification of living organisms

C The hierarchical classification system

D Binomial system of naming species

E Simple dichotomous key

When you have studied this unit, you should be able to:

• list and describe the characteristics of organisms

• define the terms nutrition, excretion, respiration, sensitivity, reproduction,

growth and movement

• outline the use of a hierarchical classification system for living organisms

• classify living organisms into kingdoms, orders, classes, families, genera

and species

• define and describe the binomial system of naming species

• construct dichotomous keys

• use simple dichotomous keys based on easily identifiable featu

Answer 2

Explanation:

In order for something to be classified as living, it must grow and develop, use energy, reproduce, be made of cells, respond to its environment, and adapt. While many things meet one or more of these criteria, a living thing must meet all of the criteria.

These are the seven characteristics of living organisms.

1 Nutrition. Living things take in materials from their surroundings that they use for growth or to provide energy. ...

2 Respiration. ...

3 Movement. ...

4 Excretion. ...

5 Growth.

6 Reproduction. ...

7 Sensitivity.
