Answer 1] list and describe various characteristics that distinguish living things from non living things.
1.Taking in energy and nutrients = To survive ,all living things must continually take in and use some form of nutrients or energy and can be classified as consumers or producers.
All living creatures have metabolic processes,or chemical reactions that happen at the cellular level to transform ,store or release energy and synthesize nutrients.
2.Sensing and responding to change = living things are also able to sense and respond to changes in their environment and within themselves.
Individual cells may sense substle changes in temperature or chemical composition.
sometimes organisms respond to changes in their environment through movement.
3] Growing and reproducing = All living things are able to grow and reproduce themselves.
In some cases growth may not be readily apparent,but each living organism will increase in cellular size,volume or number throughout its lifespan.
living things are also reproduce themselves and pass their genetic information onto the offspring.
4]Other characteristics -also have cellular structures .
composed of one or more cell and contain a genetic code in the form of DNA.
living organism also tends to themselves and pass their genetic information on to offspring.
This this can occur either sexually by combining the genes of 2 genetically distinct parents or asexually ,by creating a genetic copy of a single organism.
