4 Characteristics of
Living Things
Grows and Develops Reproduces
OrganizationResponds to the
Environment
Needs of Living Things1. Energy
2. Materials
3. Living Space
Almost all of this energy comes form the sun.
Animals must eat other animals or plantlife for energy.
Food gives animals the energy to grow and reproduce.
They need living space for protection from predators
If any of these three thing were missing…
…the organism will die.
Multi-cellular/UnicellularXXXXXXX

Unicellular
Multi-celluar
They consist of ONE cell only.
They are made of many
ce l ls .
Bacteria & pondorganisms
Frogs & the water lily is only
scratching the Surface.
Cells were far too smallto be seen prior to the invention of themicroscope.
Robert Hooke gavethe cell its namewhile using the microscope. He was looking at cork under A microscope
He was one of the first to describe the cell. He thought they looked like miniature animals callingthem “animalcules”.
1. Every living is made of one or more cells.
2. Cells carry out the functions neededto support life.
3. Cells come from only other living things.
It is a widely accepted explanation of things observed in nature.
He was a French scientist who showed the Practical use of the cell theory.
HOW?He observed (through a microscope) that harmful bacteria was growing in milk causing it to spoil. He created a process (Pasteurization) that killed off thisbacteria making milk safe to drink.
Bacteria grew from non-living things.
1. Two flasks of broth-One is sealed, the other seal is broken.
2. Let them sit for several days.
3. Sealed Flask is unchanged Unsealed flask becomes cloudy because of bacteria growth.
4. Conclusion- The broth in the unsealed Container clouded because bacteria from the Surroundings was able to get into the broth and grow.
