Answer 2

Answer:

Characteristics of Living Organisms:

1. Cellular Structure

2. Metabolism

3. Growth

4. Reproduction

5. Consciousness

Other characteristics of living beings include:

- Adaptation

- Lifespan

- Homeostasis

- Healing and repair

- Movement and variation

Q. What is a defining feature?

A. A feature is said to be defining if it fulfills two criteria:

a) If it is unexceptionally present in all organisms.

b) It should not be part of non-living objects.

1. Cellular Structure: It is the structural and functional unit of life. Cells are present in all living objects. Cells are not present in non-living objects. Therefore, it can be said that cellular structure is a defining feature.

2. Metabolism: (Gk: metabole = change / conversion)

All the organisms are made of chemicals -- these chemicals are constantly being made. These changes are called chemical reactions. All chemical reactions occurring inside our body constitute metabolism.

Metabolism comprises of two events: Anabolism and Catabolism

=> These metabolic reactions can occur in vivo or in vitro.

- Metabolism is a characteristic feature of all living organisms and it is absent in non-living objects. It can, therefore, be said that metabolism is a defining feature.

3. Growth:

Growth is defined as an irreversible increase in mass or overall size of our cell / organ or the whole organism. In other words, growth is an increase in body mass.

Growth occurs due to net results of two components of metabolism:

If anabolism > catabolism --- It leads to growth

If anabolism = catabolism --- no growth will occur

If anabolism < catabolism --- it leads to negative growth.
