LIVING THINGS AND NON-LIVING THINGS
LIVING THINGS-it is a system capable of eating, excreting, growing , reproducing and responding to external stimuli. While this is a good definition, it encompasses things that are not alive, for instance a car. LIFE-is that property possesed by living things. Life is usually easier to recognize than to define, a living things possesses certain properties that help define what life is.
CHARACTERISTICS OF LIVING AND NON-LIVING THINGS 1. COMPLEX DEFINITION- Living things is composed of one or more cells. 2 KINDS OF CELL 1. UNICELLULAR- It is one celled organisms. 2. MULTI-CELLULAR- organisms composed of many cell. 2.METABOLISM- the sum of all different chemical activities carried out by living things. 2 SETS OF METABOLIC REACTIONS 1. CATABOLISM- all reactions that break own substances. 2. ANABOLISM-all reactions that build up substances 3.RESPONSIVENESS-all living things are able to respond to stimuli in the external environment. STIMULI-it is the change that can cause reactions. 4. GROWTH - during growth a living organism transforms material that is unlike itself into materials that are like it. For example: a persons digests a meal of meat and vegetables and transforms a chemical material into more of himself or herself. 5. REPRODUCTION - living things has the ability to produce copies of itself by the process. 2 KINDS OF REPRODUCTION 1. ASEXUAL REPRODUCTIONS- involves only one parent and the resulting cells are generally to the parent cell. 2. SEXUAL REPRODUCTIONS –Two parents cell contribute to the formulation of a new individual. 6. EVOLUTION – living organisms have the ability to adapt to their environment. 7. ECOLOGY- the study of relationships between organisms and with their environment.
