1. The features of living things By ivy shi 71

2. Features Many features can tell you if a object is a living thing or not . To tell if this object is living you may need to check these following tests 1.Breed 2. growth 3.change of shape 4.Feeding 5. responding to changes 6.produce out substances 7. Death

3. Breeding and growth To see the living objects features, check if it breeds to reproduce the next generation. Then turtles, fish etc are living because these objects breed. Though you cannot check this on some trees. Some produce seeds so when it falls on the ground it can grow in to a tree . Another way is to see if they make any difference in the body. If there is then this object is living because of it growth.

4. Change of shape and feeding This another feature living animals have and it is the way to test if the creatures are living .the change of look is to notice is the object has any changes on the body so like if the teeth have growth or it have fur growing. Also , they should be living on food and water to survive or they will starve. So if they take in food then they are living

5. Responding and produce out substances Many objects have frights , and responding to some movement or a sound. To show they are living they might flinch at something they might not like. For example: fish would flip and wriggle when it is out of water. Living objects would also produce out substances like urine and droppings everywhere. They get rid of the waste in the body so it would not become poisonous inside the body .

6. Death Last of all death . Anything that past away has been through a lifecycle. It has shown that it has been living once before. Death is the last stage of life after every thing else in the cycle of life. Everyone would past through this stage in there life time.
