11. Read the following passage and answer the questions that follow.
We are surrounded by living and nonliving things. All animals and plants are living
things and biology is the study of these living things. A cat playing with a ball is
obviously living. A pigeon flying from tree to tree is also a living thing. Sometimes it
is not as easy to decide. Plants are living things, but they do not play with balls or
fly. If something is living it will carry out all of the seven characteristics like
movement, breathing or respiration, excretion, growth, sensitivity and
reproduction. Some non-living things show one or two of the seven characteristics
of living things. Like crystals such as ice crystals forming on a window, grow bigger
if the conditions are right. But still they cannot be categorised as living.
