Which character differentiates living things from non-living organisms?
Correct answer: B. They are highly organized and complex made of one or more cells and contain genetic material
- A. They live in the same ecosystem.
- B. They are highly organized and complex made of one or more cells and contain genetic material
- C. They are acted upon by the same environment
- D. Both a and b
Explanation
Living organisms are cellular, highly organized, and contain genetic material that directs growth, maintenance, and reproduction. Students may choose both a and b because living and non-living things share an environment, but sharing an ecosystem does not distinguish life from non-life.

About Animal and Plant Cell
Animal and plant cells share a plasma membrane, cytoplasm, nucleus, ribosomes, mitochondria and endoplasmic reticulum, but plant cells also have a cellulose cell wall, chloroplasts and a large permanent vacuole. Questions cover organelle structure and function, differences between the two cell types, and how membranes control movement of substances.
