LIVING THING
1.All living things breathe, eat, grow, move, reproduce and have senses.
2.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 respond to the movement of the sun.
