How Do you Know its Alive?
• Nonliving things – oDon’t actively obtain or use energy o In its current state, never livingoExample: Silk Flowers
• Dead – oDon’t actively obtain or use energyo In it’s current state, was once livingoExample: Dried Flower Petals
Characteristics of the Living
• All living things are called organisms• Organisms share these characteristics:
o Organizationo Reproductiono Developmento Homeostasiso Adaptation
carbohydrates proteins
Living creatures are ORGANIZED
• All made of the same collection of chemicals, but we are organized as…o molecules
• proteins, fats, carbohydrates, nucleic acids
DNA
Living creatures are ORGANIZED
• All made of the same collection of chemicals, but we are organized as…o organelles & cells
• plant cells & animal cells
animal cell
plant cell
Living creatures are ORGANIZED
• All made of the same collection of chemicals, but we are organized as…o organs & organ systems
• respiratory, circulatory, digestive, etc.
Living creatures REPRODUCE
• Make the next generation
Living creatures GROW & DEVELOP
• Change over an individual’s life timeo get biggero mature
• so they can reproduce
Living creatures RESPOND
• Respond to internal changes o Homeostasis
• maintaining balanced conditions inside the body• Respond to external changes
Living creatures ADAPT
• Inherited structures or behavior• Allows organisms to respond to changes in
the environment and surviveExample:Tarsier: Primate • Large eyes allows it to see well in
the dark• Long fingers allows it to hold on
well to tree branches
Living creatures also use ENERGY
• Metabolismo all the reactions your body performs to make & use
energy• eating & digestion & elimination of waste• synthesis = building• cellular respiration = making energy
mitochondria
Identify the characteristic of life for
each example.1.Rabbit running from a
fox2.Cat nursing a kitten3.Green feathers on a
parrot4.Bear hibernating5.Tree grows fruit
