What is the similarity and dissimilarity between 'whole moong dal' and 'broken moong dal' in terms of respiration and growth? Based on these parameters,classify them into living or non-living.

(N/A)

Whole Moong Dal	Broken Moong Dal
$1$. The whole seed is intact.	$1$. Seed is broken into pieces.
$2$. Seed is capable of carrying out respiration.	$2$. Respiration does not take place.
$3$. When given all favourable conditions,it germinates.	$3$. Unable to germinate.
$4$. During germination,it resumes metabolic activity.	$4$. Unable to resume metabolic activity.

We can conclude that 'whole moong dal' is a living entity because it contains a viable embryo capable of respiration,metabolism,and growth under favorable conditions. Conversely,'broken moong dal' is non-living because the embryo is damaged,rendering it incapable of respiration,germination,or growth,although it retains significant nutritive value.
