Living things have cells.
• cell: a membrane-covered structure that contains all of the materials necessary for life
• some organisms are one cell big, some are trillions of cells big
• cells can be specialized

Living things sense and respond to change.
• stimulus: anything that causes a reaction or change in an organism or any part of an organism

Living things sense and respond to change.
• homeostasis: the maintenance of a constant internal state in a changing environment
• chemical reactions keep organisms alive, and they need just the right conditions - homeostasis keeps these conditions stable and just right!

Living things sense and respond to change.
• What is a stimulus you encounter and what does your body do to maintain
homeostasis?

Living things reproduce.• sexual reproduction: reproduction in
which the sex cells from two parents unite, producing offspring that share traits from both parents
• asexual reproduction: reproduction that does not involve the union of sex cells and in which one parent produces offspring identical to itself

Living things have DNA.• DNA = deoxyribonucleic acid
• DNA controls the structure and function of cells
• When organisms reproduce, they pass copies of their DNA on to offspring
• heredity: the passing of genetic traits from parents to offspring

Living things use energy.
• Organisms use energy to carry out the activities of life, like making food, breaking down food, moving materials into and out of cells, and building cells.
• metabolism: the sum of all chemical processes that occur in an organism

Living things grow and develop.
• All living things, whether one cell or lots of cells, grow during periods of their lives
• Single-celled organisms: cell gets larger and divides
• Multicellular organisms: number of cells gets larger and organism gets bigger
• Living things might change as they grow and pass through different stages of life

The Necessities of Life
![Page 13: Life - MRS. BOGUSLAW'S WEBPAGE · Living things grow and develop. • All living things, whether one cell or lots of cells, grow during periods of their lives • Single-celled organisms:](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022041816/5e5ab186f966592ee55d29ca/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
To live, almost every organism needs…
• water
• air
• a place to live
• food
![Page 14: Life - MRS. BOGUSLAW'S WEBPAGE · Living things grow and develop. • All living things, whether one cell or lots of cells, grow during periods of their lives • Single-celled organisms:](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022041816/5e5ab186f966592ee55d29ca/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
• producer: an organism that can make its own food by using energy from its surroundings
• consumer: an organism that eats other organisms or organic matter
• decomposer: an organism that gets energy by breaking down the remains of dead organisms or animal wastes and consuming or absorbing the nutrients
![Page 15: Life - MRS. BOGUSLAW'S WEBPAGE · Living things grow and develop. • All living things, whether one cell or lots of cells, grow during periods of their lives • Single-celled organisms:](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022041816/5e5ab186f966592ee55d29ca/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Proteins
• protein: a molecule that is made up of amino acids and that is needed to build and repair body structures and regulate processes in the body
• proteins from food are broken down into amino acids, which are then linked together to form new proteins

BOGUSLAW'S WEBPAGE · Living things grow and develop. • All living things, whether one cell or lots of cells, grow during periods of their lives • Single-celled organisms:](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022041816/5e5ab186f966592ee55d29ca/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Carbohydrates• carbohydrate: a class of energy-giving nutrients that
includes sugars, starches, and fiber; contains carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen
• source of energy and energy storage
• can be simple or complex
• simple: one (or just a few) sugar molecules
• complex: hundreds of sugar molecules, good for strong extra energy

Lipids• lipid: a type of biochemical that does not dissolve
in water; include fats (solid at room temperature), oils (liquid at room temperature), and steroids
• cannot mix with water
• can store energy or make up cell membranes
• phospholipids: a lipid that contains phosphorus and is a structural component in cell membranes

ATP
• ATP: adenosine triphosphate; main energy source for cell processes
• energy from carbohydrates and lipids must be transferred to ATP to provide fuel for cellular activities

Nucleic Acids• nucleic acid: a molecule made up of subunits
called nucleotides
• “recipe book” for proteins
• have all of the information for a cell to make proteins
• the order of the nucleotides determines the order of the amino acids that make a protein
• Includes DNA and RNA
