Living Things
Move, eat, grow, breathe, excrete, respond to stimuli, 
reproduce, die
Non-Living Things
Lack one or more essential characteristics of living 
beings
Movement in Living Things
Animals
Animals are able to move from place 
to place. This movement is essential 
for finding food, escaping predators, 
and reproducing.
Plants
Plants also exhibit movement, 
although it is often slower and less 
obvious than animal movement. 
Examples include the opening of 
flowers and the climbing of vines.
Non-Living Things
Non-living things may appear to 
move, but they lack the other 
characteristics of living things, such 
as growth, respiration, and 
reproduction.
