  4. …use energy • Living organisms require energy. They use this energy to carry out energy-requiring activities such as metabolism and locomotion.

  5. …grow & develop • This means more than just getting larger in size. Living organisms also have the ability to rebuild and repair themselves when injured.

  6. …respond to their environment. • All living things respond to stimuli in their environment. • Stimuli is something causing or regarded as causing a response.
