Answer:
Seven characteristics of a living organism in brief
Explanation:
- Growth and development- Young organisms (plants and animals) grow and develop into adults.
- Movement- Animals exhibit a wide range of movements.
- Reproduction- The biological process by which new organisms (offsprings) are produced from organisms of the same kind.
- Respiration- Oxygen is used for the oxidation of food and carbon dioxide is produced.
- Responsiveness- All living organisms respond to light, heat and the changes around them.
- 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.
- Adaptation- Changes in the structure or behaviour of an organism that allow it to survive in a particular habitat are called adaptations.
