, Living World
Characteristics of Living Beings
1) Growth: Increase in mass and no. of cells in body.
• Fundamental characteristic, intrinsic property.
• Continuous in plants but upto certain age in animals.
• Non living organisms also grow → extrinsic growth.
E.g: Mountains grow by addition of snow.
• Unicellular organism grow by cell division.
• It can't be taken as defining property of living organism.
2) Reproduction: Production of new individuals of same kind by grown up individuals.
• Fundamental characteristic, it can be sexual or asexual.
• Some organism like mule, worker bee, sterile human can't reproduce.
• In unicellular, reproduction is synonymous with growth.
• It is characteristic of living organisms but not an exclusive feature.
• It can't be taken as defining property of living organism.
3) Metabolism: Sum total of all chemical reactions occuring inside living organism during
processes like photosynthesis, respiration etc.
• Isolated reaction outside body (in-vitro) are neither living nor non living.
• It can be considered as defining features of all life forms.
4) Consciousness: Ability to detect changes in environment and respond accordingly.
• Plants respond to external factors - light, water, temperature.
• Photoperiod affect reproduction in both plants and animals.
• Human beings have self consciousness too.
• Patient in coma virtually supported by machine which replace heart and lungs are
neither living nor dead.
• It is regarded as defining features of all life forms.
Diversity in Living World
Biodiversity: No. and various kind of organisms found on earth.
• No. of species that are known and described in the range between 1.7-1.8 million.
Nomenclature: Standardised naming of living organism such that a particular organism is
known by the same name all over the world.
Identification: Determining the features of organism correctly.
ICBN: International Code for Botanical Nomenclature.
ICZN: International Code for Zoological Nomenclature.
ICVN: International Code for Virus Nomenclature.
ICNCP: International Code of nomenclature for cultivated plants.
Binomial Nomenclature: Universally accepted name with 2 parts.
• by Carolus Linnaeus.
Rules:
i) In Latin, written in Italics, if handwritten then underlined.
ii) First word starts with capital letter, second word with small letter. First name
represent Genus and second species.
iii) Author's name after second word i.e. specific epithet.
