Explain how living things such as people and trees are different from non living things such as rocks and tents

Organisms have DNA and are alive, but rocks and other non-living things do not.

The difference between living things and nonliving things is little things that we call is senses like sight, taste, touch, smell, and hearing. For example a human or animal can react to someone or something touching them. For a nonliving thing such as a rock can't react to someone touching them unless u force them to.
