Differentiate living things from non living things?

Answer 1

Living Things can breath but Nonliving Things cannot. We as Human Beings can move, breath, etc. but a Nonliving Thing like a, stone, can't even do that.

Answer 2

Viruses are not an organism at all. They are not alive. They are nonliving. They are like cockle burrs that "grab" hold of your clothing or a dog's coat. They are hijackers. Once they get attached to the cell of a living cell, they can take it over and "make" the living cell produce virus particles instead of cell parts. These particles can assemble into more viruses and then they break out of the cell (killing it) and begin the process again. They cannot make more viruses on their own.

Living organisms breathe, eat, reproduce and respond to the environment.

Answer 3

Living things have the ability to grow, reproduce, respond to stimuli, and maintain homeostasis. They also contain genetic material and exhibit metabolism. Non-living things do not possess these characteristics and are not capable of growth, reproduction, or metabolism.

Answer 4

Living things need 3 things to survive:

- food

- water

- air

Non-living things do not need those things to survive, since they aren't alive.

Answer 5

Living things have levels of organization and are made of cells. Nonliving things do not have any body organization and are not composed of cells.

Answer 6

Living things have characteristic form and size within certain limits most of them also arranged as definite individuals. While in non-living things, materials vary widely.
