Common?
Made of cells

Made of Cells• All living things
contain one or more cells with genetic material (DNA)
• Cells are organized into structures that carry out certain functions
• Cell -> Tissue -> Organ -> Organ System -> Organism

Common?
Made of cells
Require Energy

Require Energy
• Living things must get energy to live– Autotrophs-make their
own energy (like plants)– Heterotrophs-eat other
organisms to get energy

Reproduce• Living things must make more living things for
their species to survive and their genetic material to be passed on to the next generation.

Growth and Development• Growth-increase in the amount of living
material and the formation of new structures
• Development-all the changes that take place during the life of an organism

Adapt and Evolve• Adaptation-an inherited structure, behavior, or
internal process that allows an organism to respond to their environment and live to reproduce
• Evolution-gradual changes in a species through adaptations over time

The Characteristics of Life
• Things must have ALL of the following to be considered alive:
– Made of Cells
– Require Energy
