Study the following passage to answer the questions 99 and 100

Living things need food for their metabolic activities. Living organisms, except
plants move from one place to the other for the sake of food and shelter.
However
movements are also observed in non living things like automobiles. Living things
grow in size. Growth may also be seen in clouds. Living things respond to stimuli
and this property is called irritability. Living things give birth to the offsprings of
one’s own kind and the process is called reproduction. However certain
organisms
like worker bees among honey bees and mules are sterile (they can’t
reproduce).

99. Observe the features of P, Q, R and S given below

i) P can grow in size ii) Q can give birth to young
ones
iii) R can move from one place to the other
iv) S can respond to external stimuli of the environment
Now find out the correct statement.
a) P, Q, R and S all are living things and none of them is non-living
b) P, R and S are non-living whereas only Q is living thing
c) P, Q and S are non-living whereas R could be living or non-living
d) Q and S are living things whereas P and R could be living or non-living
100. Find the incorrect (wrong) statement
a) A dry seed is living thing
 b) Non-living things can’t reproduce
c) Plants can’t respond to the environmental stimuli
d) All animals can reproduce
