There are several pretty clear ways that place are different from non-living things:

1. Plants grow through cellular reproduction.

2. Plants take in food and expel waste (metabolism)

3. Plants reproduce.

4. Plants respond to stimuli

Non-living things (inanimate objects) do none of those things.

This list can go on, but those are some of the basics.

What is a characteristic of a nonliving thing?

When trying to come up with characteristics of nonliving things, it helps to think about what makes them different from living things. Unlike living organisms, nonliving things do not need water to survive, nor do they have reproductive or respiratory systems. In addition, nonliving things do not need nutrition in order to exist.


What are two ways that an organisms are connected to nonliving things in the environment?

Organisms are connected to nonliving things in their environment through nutrient cycling and energy flow. For instance, plants absorb water and minerals from the soil (nonliving) to grow and produce food through photosynthesis, while animals rely on these plants for nourishment. Additionally, organisms interact with nonliving factors such as sunlight and temperature, which influence their behavior, survival, and reproduction. These connections highlight the interdependence of living and nonliving components within ecosystems.
