what makes living things different from non living things

Open in App
Solution

Dear student,
The living being can move, grow, respire, reproduce, respond to stimuli, maintain homeostasis, evolve, and need energy for all these functions while non-living things do not require any of these.
Following are the differences between the living and non-living things-
1. Living things can move, however non-living things cannot.
2. Energy is needed by living things, whereas non-livings don't need energy.
3. Living things are capable of growth, replica, and death.
4. Living things respire; non-living things don't respire.
5. Living things adapt to the environment and respond to stimulation.
