Question
Describe the living and non-living things.
Solution
Organisms capable of performing all the vital activities of life like nutrition, growth, respiration, digestion, and excretion, etc. are called living organisms. Example - man, bird, fish, trees.
Things that do not perform any vital life activities are called non-living things. Example - pen, table, stone, water, car, etc. Non-living things require external energy for their movement (car, train etc.) or addition of particles from outside for increase in size (eg. increase in the size of alum crystals in their concentrated solutions).
