Living things reproduce by either Asexual reproduction(one parent) or sexual reproduction (two parents)

  3. Characteristics of Living things continued • 4.Growth and Development Ex.Change over time and develop 5. Energy Use Ex.Metabolism- breaking down of chemical materials to make energy 6.Chemicals of Life Ex. DNA deoxribonucleic acid, carbohydrates, and proteins and lipids

  4. Where do living things come from? • HAVE TO COME FROM OTHER LIVING THINGS---A LIVING CELL. • A long time ago people thought things came from nonliving things through • Spontaneous generation.— • Redi and Pasteur ‘s experiments proved that theory wrong.

Living space-a place to live 4.Stable internal condition called homeostasis that means that the temperature for the animal must be controlled to carry on life functions

  6. ProducerHow they get food • Makes its own food • Green in color so food is made by photosynthesis from the sun.

  7. Consumer • Eats other living organisms

  8. Decomposer • Breaks down nutrients in dead organisms

  9. Scavenger • Organisms that eat other dead organisms • Turkey vulture, hyena, jackels, komodo dragon
