Characteristics And Difference of Living and Non- Living Things

We can find many things around us, from mountains and oceans to plants and animals. The earth on which we live is made up of several things.  These “things” can be categorized into two different types – Living and Non-living Things. This Topic Covers the Chapter Online Class 12 Biology Living And Non-Living Things.

Living Things

All living things breathe, eat, grow, move, reproduce and have senses.

Non-living things do not eat, grow, breathe, move and reproduce. They do not have senses.


Non Living things

Non-living things are not alive. They do not possess life. They do not have cells and do not grow or show locomotion/movement. They do not undergo metabolism with anabolic and catabolic reactions. They do not reproduce.

 

IMPORTANT CHARACTERISTICS OF LIVING THINGS

The term "organism" refers to a single living entity. Although it may have a large number of parts, the organism cannot exist without them, and the parts cannot exist without the organism. Some organisms are simple, with only an information molecule describing how to get energy and reproduce.

 

Organisms are active, and they are made up of microstructures called cells. They grow and exhibit movement. They experience metabolism, which includes anabolic and metabolic reactions.

 

Organisms have the ability to create such a new life through the process of reproduction. Living things have a special life, they are not immortal.

 

Cellular respiration enables organisms to receive the energy used by cells to carry out their functions. They absorb food for energy and remove waste from the body. Their life cycle is summarized as birth, growth, reproduction, and death.

Animals, birds, insects, and humans are examples of living things.

Organisms have the ability to convert, grow, reproduce, breathe, and transfer cells, DNA, and food. These features become the criteria for scientists to distinguish natural elements from inanimate ones.

 

CELL & DNA



Cells are the building blocks of all living things. Cells, which are grouped into groups such as organs, molecules, and other multicellular classifications, can reproduce, express themselves, and react to certain stimuli, and are thus considered organisms by scientists. Each cell contains deoxyribonucleic acid, or DNA, which contains chromosomes that contain genetic information, including the offspring's genetic characteristics.

 

METABOLIC FUNCTION


To live on something, he must eat food and convert that food into energy for the body. All living things react internally, converting the food they eat into energy through digestion and transferring the energy to the cells in the body. Plants and trees convert the energy of the sun into food and absorb nutrients into the soil through their roots.

 

INTERNAL ENVIRONMENT CHANGE

Organisms make changes in their internal environment. This, called homeostasis, represents the actions a body takes to protect itself. For example, when the body cools, it produces heat. All living things share this feature.

 

LIVING ORGANISMS GROW

In order to evolve, an organism must have cells that divide regularly to form new cells. As cells grow, develop, and divide, life becomes larger over time. Learn more about living things and non-living things, the characteristics of living and non-living things, and the difference between living and non-living things at NCERT & CBSE Biology Class 12 Online Classes & Solutions.

Magnetic and non-magnetic material Class 6 Science

Magnetic and non-magnetic material  Class 6 Science A magnet is a substance that is drawn to certain magnetic materials like iron, cobalt, and nickel. Magnets have the ability to draw iron to them. Natural magnets are rocks that naturally draw iron. Non-magnetic materials include things like wood, rubber, coins, feathers, leather, etc. that are not drawn to iron. Magnet characteristics It pulls magnetic materials, such as iron. The magnet's two ends are referred to as its poles. The magnet's diametrically opposed poles are drawn together. Heating, hammering, or dropping causes it to lose its characteristics. On the basis of properties types of Magnets Temporary magnets are those magnets that are magnetic for only a little duration. Typically, iron, cobalt, or nickel are used to make them. When they are close to the powerful magnet, they act like a magnet. When they are yanked away from the powerful magnet, they stop being magnetic. Permanent magnets are magnets that have magne...

What are Noble Gases? Example and noble gases name

What are Noble Gases? Example and noble gases name Noble Gases Noble gases, sometimes known as inert gases or erosions, are part of the modern periodic table's 18th group. This group is made up of the following individuals: Helium is a kind of gas (He) Neon (Ne) Argon is a gas (Ar) Krypton  (Kr) Xenon is a kind of xenon gas (Xe) Radon is a gas that can cause cancer (Rn) Noble gases exist in a gaseous state under typical temperature and pressure conditions. Because all noble gases have stable electronic structures, they have very little chemical reactivity. They are monoatomic gases that do not readily form molecules. 'ns2np6' represents the basic electrical configuration of noble gases. As a result, noble gases' outermost valence shells can be deemed 'complete.' The chemical inertness of the group of 18 elements is due to this. Because of the stability of certain elements, these gases form a group. These stable elements' crusts are totally filled.
