  1. Life By Autumn Messina

  2. Homeostasis ~Regulation of the internal environment to maintain a constant state. ~It is basically to keep your body maintained in your surroundings. An example is if it is too hot outside then you sweat to keep yourself cool.

  3. Organization ~Being structurally composed of one or more cells, which are the basic units of life. ~You have the right cells to be what you are. Like plants have certain cells and stuff inside the cells to be plants.

  4. Metabolism ~Transformation of energy by converting chemicals and energy into cellular components (anabolism) and decomposing organic matter (catabolism). Living things require energy to maintain internal organization (homeostasis) and to produce the other phenomena associated with life. ~Turning the food you eat into chemical energy.

  5. Growth ~Maintenance of a higher rate of anabolism than catabolism. A growing organism increases in size in all of its parts, rather than simply accumulating matter. ~It is to be able to have cell division so you can get bigger and grow.

  6. Adaptation ~The ability to change over a period of time in response to the environment. This ability is fundamental to the process of evolution and is determined by the organism's heredity as well as the composition of metabolized substances, and external factors present. ~The ability to change your body to survive in the forever changing environment.

  7. Response to Stimuli ~A response can take many forms, from the contraction of a unicellular organism to external chemicals, to complex reactions involving all the senses of multicellular organisms. A response is often expressed by motion, for example, the leaves of a plant turning toward the sun (phototropism) and by chemo taxis ~ Its like if something is dangerous you stay away from it.

  8. Reproduction ~The ability to produce new individual organisms, either asexually from a single parent organism, or sexually from two parent organisms. ~The ability to have offspring.
