• What makes something alive?
Six Characteristics of Living Things
1. All living things are composed of cells.
2. Complex organization patterns are found in all living
organisms.
3. All organisms use energy.
4. All organisms have stable internal conditions which
must be maintained in order to remain alive.
5. All organisms grow and change.
6. All organisms reproduce in order to continue the
species’ life.
1. All Living Things are Composed of Cells
Two types of cells:
1. Prokaryotic Cells
Most are singlecelled organisms
2. Eukaryotic Cells

– Groups of different
species
• Ecosystem Level
– Living and non-living
elements

photosynthetic
organisms)

Heat
3. All Organisms use Energy
• Metabolism: All of the chemical reactions
that occur within an organism.
– Catabolism: Breaks larger molecules down into
smaller molecules to produce energy (i.e., Cellular
Respiration)
– Anabolism: Uses energy released by catabolic
pathways to create cellular components (i.e.,
Photosynthesis)

4. All organisms have stable internal conditions
which must be maintained in order to remain
alive. This is called homeostasis.

5. All organisms grow and change.
a. Changes occur
during the life
cycle of an
organism.
b. Some changes
are inherited,
which over
time are called
adaptations
__________.
5a. Changes occur during an
organism’s lifetime
• Differentiation:
The process by
which cells
become
increasingly
different and
specialized

• The inheritance
of adaptations
over time is
evolution.
6. All organisms reproduce

reproduce sexually.

reproduce
