6. Living things  As the name suggests, they are alive and active. But it’s not as simple as that. A living thing as defined by many scientists is made up of cells and exhibits characteristics of life. There is growth involved, together with movement, reproduction, and response to stimuli. Also, a living thing requires energy for the sustenance of life, and speaking about life, a living thing will experience death.  Living things that are around us include animals, plants, microorganisms, and of course human beings. Unlike non-living things, they excrete unwanted materials and show adaptations to their environmental conditions Non Living things  As the name suggests, they are not alive and are not active (unless programmed to be so). They do not exhibit any characteristics of life such as growing, responding to stimuli, reproducing, evolving, or maintaining homeostasis. They are generally made up of non-living materials. They also can’t move on their own, unlike living things, and thus have no need for energy.  Non-living things that are found in our surroundings are paper, stones, electrical gadgets, buildings, automobiles, and books. They do not show excretion of any kind, and will have no need of food and respiration.Source

7. Living Things  Growth: All living things grow.  Reproduction: The ability to reproduce and pass genetic information onto their offspring.  Excretion: Getting rid of waste. Non Living things They do not grow They do not reproduce They do not excrete.
