Study Notes

Characteristics of Living Things

  • Cellular Organization: All living organisms are composed of one or more cells, which are the basic units of life.
  • Reproduction: Living things have the ability to reproduce, either sexually or asexually, ensuring the continuation of their species.
  • Growth and Development: Organisms undergo growth, increasing in size and complexity, and development, which involves changes that occur in life stages.
  • Energy Use: Living organisms require energy to perform various biological processes, which they obtain from food, sunlight, or chemical reactions.
  • Homeostasis: The ability to maintain stable internal conditions (temperature, pH, etc.) despite external environmental changes is crucial for survival.
  • Response to Environment: Living things can detect and respond to stimuli from their surroundings, allowing them to adapt and survive.
