1. Characteristics of Living, Non-living and the Dead Organisms
What is life? what does living mean?
The world is made up of living and non-living things.
The main difference between living and non-living things is that a living organism is or was once alive, whereas a non-living thing has never been alive.
Non-living is not the same as being dead because non-living things were never alive and therefore cannot die.
Dead means that it was once living
Non-living means that it never lived.
In this chapter, we will study in detail about the characteristics of the living, non-living and the dead organisms.
Living Things – Things which are alive and have life in them are called living things. Examples: Humans, elephant etc.
Non-Living Things – Things that are not alive or do not have life in them are called non-living things. Examples: Stone, airplane etc.
Dead Things – Things which once formed a part of some living plant or animal, but now show no trace of life are called dead things. Examples: Dry wood, piece of dry bone, leather etc.
