Frequently Asked Questions
Are viruses considered living or non-living?
Viruses are unique because they show characteristics of living things only when they enter a host body; outside a host, they act like non-living things.
Do plants show movement like animals?
Yes, plants show movement too, but usually slow movements of certain parts like bending toward light or closing leaves when touched, rather than moving from place to place.
Why is reproduction necessary for living creatures?
Reproduction is necessary so that a species does not die out and continues to exist on Earth generation after generation.
