Describe a few ways living and a nonliving thing are alike and a few ways they are different

Hello!

Here are the DIFFERENCES between living and non-living things:

Living things, as the name suggests, are lively and active. They exhibit characteristic of life, like growth, movement, reproduction, and they evolve. Some examples of livings things in our daily lives are: Us humans, animals, and plants and micro organisms. 

(Sorry this is taking so long btw, laptop)

Non-living things don't exhibit characteristics of life. They do not grow, respire, move, reproduce, or evolve. (They are basically opposite of living things). Examples of non-living things would be: Stones, paper, electronic devices, books and buildings, and cars. 

SIMILARITIES: 

Living beings and non-living things both follow the physical and general chemical laws, like the thermodynamic law, and they all contain atoms. Also, both living and non-living things require energy for movement (It's just living things produce their own).

I really hope you found this helpful! :)

The return of the wolf to yellowstone national park will probably affect the bird population to some degree, not significantly. while wolves will hunt birds when necessary, they prefer to hunt larger prey. the bird population will most likely only be affected when hunting is scarce for the wolves. birds of prey will also probably not be affected as much as other birds who spend more time on the ground hunting for food as the tend to spend more time in the air or in trees since they do not need to stay on the ground for long due to the nature of the way they hunt.
