C. Discussion

James: things - are the organisms

Characteristics of living things:
which possess life and have the
 Living things are made up of cell or cells. ability to eat, grow, respite, and
produce.
 They obtain and use energy to survive.

 A unique ability to reproduce, ability to grow, ability

to metabolize, ability to respond to stimuli, ability to
adapt to the environment, ability to move and last
but not the least an ability to respite.

These are the characteristics of living things.

Next is the non-living things.

Non-living things - are not alive. they do not possess life.

They do not have cells and do not grow or show
locomotion/movement. They do not undergo metabolism
with anabolic and catabolic reactions. They do not
reproduce.

These are the following characteristics of non-living things:

 Non-living things are lifeless. They do not have

cells, and there is no proto plasm which forms the
basis for life to exist.

 Lack of protoplasm leads means no metabolic

activities.

 They do not have a definite and certain size of their

 own.

 Non-living things grow by accretion.

 Non-living things never die as they do not have cells

with a definite lifespan.

 Fundamental life processes such as reproduction,

nutrition, excretion, etc. are absent in non-living
things.

they do not possess life. They do
not have cells and do not grow or
show locomotion/movement.
