Living Things
A plant is an example of a living thing. Some organisms, called
protests, are only made up of one cell. Plants are unique among the
eukaryotes, organisms whose cells have membrane-enclosed nuclei
and organelles, because they can manufacture their own food.
Chlorophyll, which gives plants their green color, enables them to
use sunlight to convert water and carbon dioxide into sugars and
carbohydrates, chemicals the cell uses for fuel.
Non living things have no cells.
