Answer: taxonomy

Explanation:

in order to decide whether what we are observing is living or non-living, a set of characteristics called life processes is used.

a life process is a feature or characteristic that enables a living thing to survive. Life processes include;

1 Nutrition(feeding)

This is the process by which living things obtain food from their environment and utilise it in their bodies.

2 Respiration

This is the breakdown of food to release energy.

3 Excretion

This is the removal of waste products of metabolism from the body.

4 Growth

This is a permanent increase in the size of an organism.

5 Reproduction

It is the production of new individuals from existing parents.

6 movement

This is the displacement of part of the body of a living organism.

7 Sensitivity

This is the response of a living organism to stimuli.
