They experience metabolism, which includes anabolic and catabolic reactions. • Living things are capable of producing a new life which is of their own kind through the process of reproduction. Living things have a particular life span and are not immortal. • Non-Living Resources: 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.
