1. Living and Non-living Things

  • Living beings show movement, nutrition, growth, respiration, excretion, response to stimuli, reproduction, and death.
  • Movement alone does not make something living. A car can move but is non-living.
  • A living being that cannot show all characteristics even when food, air, and water are available is considered dead.

2. Characteristics of Living Beings

  • Movement is seen in animals and also in plants in different forms.
