    Characteristics of Living Things

    • Composed of cells, which are the basic unit of life.
    • Made of similar chemicals such as proteins, nucleic acids, carbohydrates, and lipids.
    • Exhibit growth and development, changing in size and complexity over time.
    • Respond to environmental stimuli, allowing adaptation and survival.
    • Require and obtain energy to maintain processes like metabolism and movement.
    • Capable of reproduction, ensuring the continuation of species.

    Basic Needs of Living Things

    • Require living space for survival and access to resources.
    • Maintain homeostasis, an internal balance crucial for function.
    • Need water for various biological processes, including hydration and chemical reactions.
    • Depend on energy sources, with plants utilizing sunlight and animals consuming food.

    Six Kingdoms of Life

    • Domains: The highest level of classification, encompassing various kingdoms.
    • Kingdoms include diverse forms of life, with each categorized based on shared characteristics.
    • Phylum, class, order, family, genus, and species represent increasingly specific classifications of organisms.

    Domains of Life

    • Eukarya: Organisms with complex cells containing a nucleus, including plants, animals, fungi, and protists.
    • Bacteria: Single-celled microorganisms with simple structures, often found in various environments.
    • Archaea: Single-celled organisms similar to bacteria but with distinct biochemistry and genetics, often thriving in extreme conditions.
