Characteristics of Living Things
Question 1 of 7
Grade: Form 1
Q1
Which characteristic of living organisms involves ingestion, absorption and assimilation?
About this topic
This topic covers the seven key characteristics of living things: feeding/nutrition, respiration, excretion, reproduction, sensitivity/irritability, movement/locomotion, and growth. Students will analyse these characteristics to distinguish living from non-living things and categorise life processes into catabolism and anabolism. Understanding these features is essential for defining life and forms the basis for many ECZ exam questions. It equips Zambian learners with the foundational knowledge needed to explore more complex biological processes in subsequent forms.
