4. Characteristics of Living Things
8 characteristics must be met in order for something to be “living”
Try to brainstorm a few

5. Characteristics of Living Things
1. All living organisms are made of cells.
-A cell is the basic unit of life

6. Fill out the Pyramid
Organism
Organ Systems
Organs
Tissue
Cells

7. Reproduction 2. All living organisms must reproduce
-All living organisms must reproduce sexually or asexually.
a. Life would come to an end without reproduction

8. DNA 3. All living organisms have a genetic code (DNA)
-There is a reason why we look like our parents. DNA is a molecule that gets passed down to the next generation.

9. Genetics

10. Life Cycle 4. All living organisms must grow
-All living organisms go through a life cycle.
Humans start off as sperm/egg, embryo, zygote, fetus, infant, teenager, etc…

11. All living things must grow

12. Energy 5. All living organisms need energy
-Organisms need energy to grow, develop, and reproduce. How do you get energy?
Humans= eating, plants= sun, fungus=decomposing

13. Obtain Energy

14. Respond to Environment
6. All living organisms must respond to their environments
-Not a lot of organisms can survive a winter. What do they do?
a. Hibernate, migrate

15. Homeostasis 7. All living organisms must maintain an internal balance
-Homeostasis: is the process in which organisms maintain their internal balance
If we eat, we must egest (removal of waste)
Plants take in CO2 and give off O2

16. Evolution 8. All living organisms change over time
-This change is known as evolution

17. Living things adapt and evolve
Any structure, behavior, or internal process that enables an organism to respond to environmental factors and live to produce offspring is called an adaptation
Adaptations are inherited from previous generations.
The gradual change in a species through adaptations over time is evolution.
