There are three major categories of living things based on how they obtain energy, namely producers, consumers and decomposers.

['All living things breathe, eat, grow, move, reproduce and have senses.', 'Non-living things do not eat, grow, breathe, move and reproduce. They do not have senses.']

All living organisms share several key characteristics or functions: order, sensitivity or response to the environment, reproduction, adaptation, growth and development, homeostasis, energy processing, and evolution. When viewed together, these characteristics serve to define life.

All living organisms are composed of one or more cells. Based on the organization of their cellular structures, all living cells can be divided into two groups: prokaryotic and eukaryotic (also spelled procaryotic and eucaryotic). Animals, plants, fungi, protozoans, and algae all possess eukaryotic cell types.

The biological levels of organization of living things arranged from the simplest to most complex are: organelle, cells, tissues, organs, organ systems, organisms, populations, communities, ecosystem, and biosphere.

A cell is the basic structural and functional unit of living organisms.

These specialized groups are collectively called the classification of living things. The classification of living things includes 7 levels: kingdom, phylum, classes, order, families, genus, and species . The most basic classification of living things is kingdoms. Currently there are five kingdoms.

['All living things are composed of cells.', 'Cells are the basic units of structure and function for living things.', 'All cells come from pre-existing cells. Also, organisms grow by “adding on more cells” NOT by increasing the size of their cells.']

This system of classification is called taxonomy. Scientists classify living things at eight different levels: domain, kingdom, phylum, class, order, family, genus, and species. In order to do this, they look at characteristics, such as their appearance, reproduction, and movement, to name a few.

Biodiversity refers to the variety of living species on Earth, including plants, animals, bacteria, and fungi.

Linnaeus later classified all living organisms into two kingdoms – Plantae and Animalia. Whittaker proposed an elaborate five kingdom classification – Monera, Protista, Fungi, Plantae and Animalia.

There are two different types of things in the ecosystem – Living and Non living Things. All living things breathe, eat, grow, move, reproduce and have senses. Non living things do not eat, grow, breathe, move and reproduce. They do not have senses.

Taxonomic ecology: It is concerned with the ecology of different taxonomic groups of living organisms and eventually includes following divisions of ecology: microbial ecology, mammalian ecology, avian ecology, insect ecology, parasitological, human ecology and so on.

There are three broad categories of ecosystems based on their general environment: freshwater, marine, and terrestrial. Within these three categories are individual ecosystem types based on the environmental habitat and organisms present.

A living thing can be composed of either one cell or many cells. There are two broad categories of cells: prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells.

The sciences concerned with the study of living organisms, including biology, botany, zoology, microbiology, physiology, biochemistry, and related subjects are collectively referred to as life sciences. ... Biotechnology is a part of life sciences.
