Living things are characterized by many things that non-living things are not. For instance, living things will grow, find food or other means of energy, react to stimuli, and reproduce. Non-living things, like a rock, probably can't do these things on its own.
If you mean the 8 things all living things have in common, they are as follows: 1) All living things are highly organized and contain many complex chemical substances. 2) All living things contain one or more cells. 3) All living things use energy. 4) Living things have a definite form and have a limited size. 5) Living things grow. 6) Living things respond to changes in the environment. 7) Living things can reproduce. 8) Living things eventually die.
No
All living things are organisms. There is no such thing as a living cell that is not an organism.
Non-living things do not have cells. Cells are the fundamental units of living organisms where biological processes occur. Non-living things are typically made up of molecules, atoms, or other non-cellular structures.
Nutrients. There could be a single thing that a living organism survives on that is not a nutrient but I can't think of one right now. The sun is a type of nutrient because it provides some types of nutrients. Anything can be a nutrient so I'd say the only thing the most "primitive" living organisms need is some form of nutrient. Not all living things need oxygen or hydrogen.
Life continues because living organisms are able to carry out a range of important processes using specialized cells, tissues and organs. Many of these processes, such as respiration, excretion and transport are common to both plants and animals, but some - such as photosynthesis - are unique to one group or the other.
Living things require a continuous supply of energy to carry out essential processes such as growth, repair, and reproduction. While some chemical reactions release energy, other processes in cells require energy input to drive them forward. Additionally, energy is constantly being lost as heat during metabolic processes, necessitating a continuous supply to maintain life processes.
Living things include plants, animals, bacteria, and fungi. These organisms have the ability to grow, reproduce, respond to stimuli, and adapt to their environment. They require energy and nutrients to carry out their life processes.
Many scientists consider viruses to be non living because each and every living organism must carry out these 7 life processes for it to be considered living: Movement, Reproduction, Sensitivity, Growth, Respiration, Excretion and Nutrition. Viruses do all of these things except reproduction, which they cannot do. Instead, they multiply by using other living organism's cells which has caused a lot of debate over whether that counts as reproduction in the scientific community.
Yes, living things are made up of units called cells, which are the basic structural and functional units of life. Cells contain the biological machinery necessary to carry out the processes essential for life, such as growth, metabolism, and reproduction. Each cell is capable of performing specific functions to contribute to the overall well-being of the organism.
