The breakdown (usually in living systems) from complex substances to simpler substances is called catalysis.
In terms of thermodynamics, the breakdown from more ordered (often more complex) states to more disordered (often simpler) states is called entropy.

Decomposers are fungi that transform complex organic substances into raw materials that other organisms can use. They are the last stop on the food chain, they eat the things no one else wants to.
one difference is that living things breath and nonliving things don't another is that living things have blood vessels and brains
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.

yes! living systems are more complex than non-living systems
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.
Through decay when living things die, and through their wastes.

Living things ... including us.
No. The least complex level of organization in living things is atoms and molecules.
Energy
The elements of ecosystem is so important. They provide the needs of a place where both living and non-living things exist and interact with each other. The 7 common substances of ecosystem are: abiotic substances, biotic substances,biot substances,bio substances,bi substances,b substances, and substances.
