DIVERSITY OF LIVING AND NON LIVING THINGS

Question 1

Living vs. Non-Living

Answer 1

Living things are organisms that have biological processes, such as growth, reproduction, and response to stimuli. Non-living things are objects or substances that lack these biological processes and characteristics.

Question 2

Life Processes in living things

Answer 2

Life processes are essential activities performed by living organisms to maintain life. They include
MOVEMENT:(changing position),
NUTRITION:(obtaining and using food)
GROWTH:increasing in size),
RESPIRATION:(obtaining energy from food), EXCRETION:removing waste),
REPRODUCTION:producing offspring), and response to stimuli (reacting to changes in the environment).

Question 3

Basic Life Processes in living things

Answer 3

The five basic life processes that unite all living organisms are:
1. Nutrition: The process of obtaining and using nutrients for energy and growth.
2. Respiration: The process of releasing energy from nutrients to fuel cellular activities.
3. Excretion: The removal of waste products produced during metabolic processes.
4. Growth: The increase in size or complexity of an organism over time.
5. Reproduction: The process of producing offspring to ensure the continuation of the species.

Question 4

Biodiversity

Answer 4

Biodiversity refers to the variety of life forms present on Earth, including genetic diversity within species, diversity between species, and diversity of ecosystems.

Question 5
