2.1 Characteristics of Living 2.1 Characteristics of Living ThingsThings
The six characteristics of Living The six characteristics of Living Things:Things:
1.1. All living things have cellsAll living things have cells
2.2. All living things sense and respond to All living things sense and respond to changechange
3.3. All living things reproduceAll living things reproduce
4.4. All living things have DNAAll living things have DNA
5.5. All living things use energyAll living things use energy
6.6. All living things grow and developAll living things grow and develop
2.1 Characteristics of Living 2.1 Characteristics of Living ThingsThings
1.1. All living things have cellsAll living things have cells UnicellularUnicellular (single celled (single celled
organisms)organisms) Multicellular Multicellular (organisms made of (organisms made of
more than one kind of cells)more than one kind of cells) Excludes viruses because virus are Excludes viruses because virus are
organisms that are made of organisms that are made of DNA/RNA and a protein coat – not DNA/RNA and a protein coat – not exactly a cell.exactly a cell.
2. All living things sense and respond 2. All living things sense and respond to changeto change
An important part of sensing and An important part of sensing and responding to environmental responding to environmental changes is maintaining changes is maintaining homeostasis.homeostasis.
HomeostasisHomeostasis– the maintenance of a – the maintenance of a stable internal environment stable internal environment despite a changing external despite a changing external environmentenvironment
3. All living things 3. All living things reproducereproduce
There are two types of reproduction:There are two types of reproduction:
Asexual – a single parent produces Asexual – a single parent produces an identical offspring. an identical offspring.
Lots of organisms reproduce this Lots of organisms reproduce this way (bacteria and algae). When way (bacteria and algae). When cells are cloned they are cells are cloned they are reproduced in this way.reproduced in this way.
Sexual – requires two parents. Sexual – requires two parents. Results in a lot better chance for Results in a lot better chance for genetic variation.genetic variation.
4. All living things have 4. All living things have DNADNA
DNA – deoxyribonucleic acidDNA – deoxyribonucleic acid Provides instructions for making Provides instructions for making
molecules – proteins that take part in molecules – proteins that take part in all cellular functions and in the all cellular functions and in the synthesis of other kinds of molecules synthesis of other kinds of molecules needed for cells to exist.needed for cells to exist.
Reproduction involves making copies of Reproduction involves making copies of DNA that is transferred to offspring.DNA that is transferred to offspring.
The transmission of characteristics/traits The transmission of characteristics/traits from one generation to another is from one generation to another is called ____________called ____________heredity
5. All living things use 5. All living things use energyenergy
MetabolismMetabolism – all chemical activities that – all chemical activities that use or make available energy.use or make available energy.
Producers Producers – organisms that obtain energy – organisms that obtain energy from the sun (photosynthetic) or certain from the sun (photosynthetic) or certain bacteria that use inorganic chemicals bacteria that use inorganic chemicals (chemosynthetic)(chemosynthetic)
ConsumersConsumers – organisms that obtain – organisms that obtain energy by eating other organisms.energy by eating other organisms.
DecomposersDecomposers – Organisms that get their – Organisms that get their food from breaking down nutrients from food from breaking down nutrients from dead organisms or animal wastes.dead organisms or animal wastes.

Some organisms need a lot of space Some organisms need a lot of space to live which is why governments to live which is why governments are starting to create habitat are starting to create habitat management plans so that there management plans so that there are places for animals to live are places for animals to live because people have out competed because people have out competed animals for the living place animals for the living place resource.resource.
Could life as we know it exist Could life as we know it exist on Earth if air only contained on Earth if air only contained
oxygen?oxygen? Life could not exist as we know it if Life could not exist as we know it if
air only contained oxygen because air only contained oxygen because green plants, algae, and some green plants, algae, and some bacteria need carbon dioxide gas as bacteria need carbon dioxide gas as well as oxygen. Without carbon well as oxygen.
