  1. Is It a Living Organism?

  2. The following slides show examples of living and nonliving things. • Based on the characteristics of life outlined on the next slide, decide if each example represents a living organism. • If the object shown is a living organism, write “Yes.” • If the object shown is nonliving, write “No.” Is It a Living Organism?

  3. Living things are based on a universal genetic code. Living things grow and develop. Living things respond to their environment. Living things are made up of cells. Living things reproduce. Living things maintain a stable internal environment. Living things get and use material and energy. Taken as a group, living things evolve. Characteristics of Living Things

  35. Living things are based on a universal genetic code. Living things grow and develop. Living things respond to their environment. Living things are made up of cells. Living things reproduce Living things maintain a stable internal environment. Living things get and use material and energy. Taken as a group, living things evolve. Characteristics of Living Things

  36. Tree Yes

  37. Rock No

  38. Slime mold Yes

  39. Fire No

  40. River No

  41. Wind No

  42. Rabbit Yes

  43. Cloud No

  44. Coral Yes

  45. Feather Feathers are produced by living cells located in small pit-like follicles in a bird’s outer skin layer. As it’s produced keratin is protruded straight out from the skin follicle, enlarging the feather. No

  46. Grass Yes

  47. Seed Seeds may lay dormant for years before conditions become favorable for germination. Yes

  48. Chicken Egg (unfertilized) The yellow yolk is not the egg, but food for the egg. The egg is a tiny single haploid cell found in the egg white. The unfertilized egg is not capable of reproducing or evolving. No

  49. Zygote Yes

  50. Spore Spores are part of the life cycle of a diploid organism. They are every bit a living organism as the organism that produces them. Spores are usually haploid and unicellular. Once conditions are favorable, the spore can develop into a new organism which produces gametes. Yes
