Digestion- breakdown of food substances into simpler forms
Absorption- passage of substances through membranes and into the body
circulation- movement of substances in bodily fluids
Assimilation- changing of absorbed substances into chemically different forms.
Excretion- removal of wastes produced by metabolic reactions
Movement- change in position; motion
Responsiveness- reaction to change
growth- increase in body size without changing shape
Reproduction- production of new organisms and cells
respiration- obtaining oxygen; removing carbon dioxide; releasing energy from foods.
Differentiation- unspecialized to specialized.
It is easy to decide whether most objects are living or not. A brick is obviously not living and has never been alive. A dog running around is obviously alive. But what about a leaf that has fallen from a tree? To answer a question like this we need to think about what all living things must do to be alive.
All living things must carry out seven processes to stay alive.
1. All living things obtain energy from their food by a process called RESPIRATION.
2. All living things obtain food by a process called NUTRITION.
3. All living things rid themselves of waste materials by a process called
EXCRETION.
4. GROWTH is another important function of living things. All living things grow.
5. All living things respond to their environment. They therefore require
SENSITIVITY.
6. All living things move. MOVEMENT is an important part of life.
7. All living things get old and die. Replacements are made by the process of REPRODUCTION.
Reproduce, die, be autotrophic and/or heterotrophic.
Active (non-killed) viruses are living organisms.
Ability to move independently and ability to reproduce.
What are all living and nonliving things in an area called
A nonliving organism is a thing that is not living or functioning at all. Example: car, cell phone, pencil,

the earth is nonliving but has living organisms on it
All organisms are living.
No. It is nonliving.

A tomato isaliving organisms all things are living organisms. You will be surprised at what are living organisms.
Unferrtilized eggs are nonliving, but have the potential of becoming living organisms as soon as they are fertilized.
Non-living- but some cheese (like Bleu cheese) has mold organisms in it that are alive.
no i is not because the aaries is a nonliving thing
ALL Plants are living organisms.
Living things are living, breathing, eating organisms that take and contribute to their ecosystem. Nonliving things do not breathe, eat, or need water (e.g., a rock). A dead organism is a once-living creature that has become a nonliving thing.
