Living things all have a system inside of them that keeps then alive, their heart, lungs and brain for example. If even one thing goes wrong with their system, they can die.
Cars are not alive, but they also need a system to work, their gas tank, motor and battery for example. If one if those stops working, the car won't be able to work.
In short, they're different because one is alive and the other isn't. They're similar because they both rely in a system to function properly.

In order to be living organism, it must satisfy all the rules above. On the other hand a balsam plant respires and get its energy from sunlight by means of photosynthesis. Plants also excrete their metabolic waste through leaves. Plants move in response to light - that is phototropism, they move in search of water - that is hydrotropism and they move in response to gravity - that is geotropism. Plant reproduction takes place in plants. Plants are sensitive to any changes in their immediate surroundings.
