Characteristics of Life
• Made of 1 or more cells• Displays organization• Grows and develops• Reproduces• Responds to stimuli• Requires Energy• Maintains homeostasis• Adapts/Evolves
An organism is anything that has or once had all of these characteristics

1. Made of one or more cells
• Bacteria are unicellular meaning they are made of only one cell
• The blue whale is multicellular meaning it is made of many cells

2. Displays Organization
• Simple organization can be found within a single cell
• Complex organization can be found in organ systems

3. Grows and Develops
• Growth is an increase in mass or weight• Development is a change in abilities

4. Reproduces
• Production of offspring (next generation)• Sexual reproduction is when genetic
information is exchanged• Asexual reproduction is when the same
genetic information is used to make a copy

5. Responds to Stimuli
• A stimulus is a “cause” whereas a response is an “effect”
• The internal environment is what is inside of an organism
• The external environment is what is outside of an organism

6. Requires Energy
• All living things need food in one form or another
• A producer makes it own food• A consumer needs to eat to survive

7. Maintains Homeostasis
• Homeostasis means maintaining its internal environment
• An example of homeostasis is when you are too hot, you sweat

8. Adapts/Evolves
• Adaptation and evolution does not happen within one generation or lifespan
• An adaptation is any inherited (through genes) characteristic that results from changes to a species over time
