Non-Living things are things that are not alive...that have no life at all. Things that are not made up of cells or nerves and do not grow. A non-living thing is one that lacks or has stopped displaying the characteristics of life. Thus, they lack or no longer displaying the capability for growth, reproduction, respiration,metabolism, and movement. They also are not capable of responding to stimuli or evolve and adapt to their environment. They also do not require energy to continue existing.
Non-living things can be divided into two groups. First, come those which were never part of a living thing, such as stone and gold.The second group are those which were once part of living things. Coal is a good example. It was formed when trees died and sank into the soft ground. This happened many millions of years ago when the Earth was covered with forests. Paper is non-living but it is also made from trees. Jam is also non-living but it was made from the fruit of a plant.

    A single celled organism, such as an Amoeba, has a short life because of the heavy work load and exposure to elements on all four of its sides. An Amoeba operates on one cell, so it is a lot of work and cannot get very big with just one cell. Any injury to the cell can result in immediate death to the fragile organism. Yet, it is still a life because it IS a cell, and grows, can split in half and make a new amoeba, responds to the environment, uses energy to grow and can also adapt to their environments by living in both soil and water. They use their body to surround food and “eat” it. Some amoebas have learned to cover themselves in grains of sand to protect their small bodies. Trees, cats, and single cell organisms all need oxygen, have cells, grow and reproduce, respond to stimuli, use energy, and adapt to environment so they are all living things.…
