What is the similarity and dissimilarity between "whole moong dal" and "broken moong dal" in terms of respiration & growth? Based on these parameters classify them into living and non living?

Dear student,   
Please find below the solution to the asked query   

​When we soak 'whole moong dal' and 'broken moong dal' in water, the embryo (living entity) of the seed of whole moong dal shows respiration and growth. It starts to grow into a seedling. But in case of broken moong dal, no respiration,  growth, breakdown reactions and ATP formation is seen as the embryo  (living entity) is dead in this type of dal.
Based on the above parameters, Whole moong dal comes under living and broken moong dal under non-living.
