Grow and don't have sense organs. In this chapter we will study about the both living and non-living things.

  Characteristic Features of Living Things 

   Growth

Growth is the main characteristic features of living things. A boy grows as a man, a girl grows as a woman, a baby grows as an adult one, a small plant grows to a tree. These all are the examples of the growth of living things.

However, proper growth of a living thing can not be possible without proper food. In fact, rate of growth of a living body depends on growth hormones. But our body cannot produce proper growth of hormones without proper food.

    Look at the following pictures of growth in living things:
