General Science - Physics (Basics)
Which of the following distinguishes living organisms from non-living things?
AAbility to change shape
BAbility to grow and reproduce
CAbility to conduct electricity
DAbility to reflect light
Step-by-Step Solution
  1. Step 1: Understand distinguishing features

    Living organisms have unique features that non-living things lack.
  2. Step 2: Analyze options

    Changing shape, conducting electricity, and reflecting light can occur in non-living things. Growth and reproduction are exclusive to living organisms.
  3. Step 3: Why other options are incorrect

    Changing shape can be physical deformation, not life. Conducting electricity and reflecting light are physical properties, not life characteristics.
  4. Final Answer:

    Ability to grow and reproduce → Option B
  5. Quick Check:

    Living vs non-living = Growth and reproduction ✅
Quick Trick: Growth and reproduction define life.
Common Mistakes:
MISTAKES
  • Confusing physical properties with life characteristics.
