Answer:

reproduction

growth

irritability

response

adaptability

metabolism

Explanation:

The obvious difference between a living organism and a non-living organism is LIFE. The possession or not of life determines the kind of characteristics that organism possess. Living things due to the presence of life in them can perform certain processes in their cells. They include:

Reproduction: This is the ability of an organism to multipy itself or produce younger ones. Only living organisms can perform this function

Growth: Growth is the irreversible increase in weight, height and size of an organism, which is also peculiar to living organisms.

Irritability: Living organisms have the ability to respond to certain stimuli e.g heat, sun light etc. This is evident in change of direction of such organism.

Metabolism: Metabolism is the series of building and breaking down of molecules that occur in a cell. Only living cells undergo metabolic reactions, like respiration, in order to produce energy needed for life functioning.

Adaptability: This is the ability of an organism to become adjusted to a new environment by undergoing certain changes in its body that makes it survive. This feature is a characteristics of living organisms only.

How do melting ice caps and glaciers affect sea level
Serjik [45]

If the ice is lying on land, melting ice will slowly raise sea levels.  

Explanation:

Ice in the Arctic ocean is floating on the ocean and so when it melts it does not raise sea levels anymore - its like ice cubes in a drink - its already displaced as much water as its going to.

However, the big ice caps of Antarctica and Greenland are mostly lying on land and so as they melt they add more water to the oceans and the average sea level rises.

If all the ice in Greenland were to melt the sea level would rise by about 7 meters which would flood out millions of people living in coastal cities. If all the ice in Antarctica were to melt, this would add 72 meters to average sea levels.

Right now, thermal expansion of the oceans, plus melting ice from continental alpine glaciers, is contributing the most to sea level rise (as the atmosphere warms from global warming, some heat is transferred to the oceans). Current estimates are that sea levels may rise as much as 1 meter (3-4 feet) by the year 2100.
