According to Gerald Audesirk, Teresa Audesirk and Bruce E. Byers in the book Biology: Life on Earth with Physiology (11th edition), the characteristics of living beings are organization, metabolism, reactivity, reproduction, movements, growth, development and adaptation”. On the other hand, the characteristics of a non-living being are incapable of reproducing, moving and growing (Audesirk, Audesirk, Byers,). All over the world, there are many things that are considered living things and non-living things. For example, birds flying in the sky and parents playing with their children are considered living, while sand and wood are considered non-living..
