Non-living things

  1. possess a high metabolic rate
  2. are able to respire
  3. exhibit autotrophic nutrition
  4. show a low degree of organization ✓
Explanation

Living things are organised from cells into tissues, organs and systems. Non-living things such as rocks, water and iron have no cells and no such organisation. So they show a low degree of organization.

High metabolic rate, respiration and autotrophic nutrition are all life processes. Non-living things cannot do them.
