Characteristics of Living Life
• All living things are made of cells
• Either Eukaryotic or Prokaryotic
Plant and Animal
Bacteria
Cellular Organization
• Unicellular- organisms made of one cell
• Multicellularorganisms made of many cells
• All cells have parts that are made of the same molecules
and chemicals.
Responds to Surroundings
• Sensitivity- respond to stimuli
• ex: plants grow towards the sun or an
animal runs from a predator
Growth & Development
• Growth- change over lifetime
Maintain Themselves
• Homeostasis- stable internal environment
• ex: control over the amount of fluids, salts,
hormones, body temperature
Reproduction
• Reproduction- sexual or asexual
All Living Things Need Energy!
• Eating things (Heterotrophs) or
Photosynthesis (Autotrophs)
Adapting
• Adaptation- becoming specially suited to a
particular environment over time
