  3. Characteristics of Living Things Essential Question: What criteria do scientists use to determine if something is living or non living?

  4. 1. All Living Organisms are: • Made of Cells • the basic unit of life

  5. Two types: • Eukaryotic • Prokaryotic

  6. Organisms can be Unicellular • Carries out ALL life functions with only a one cell Multicellular • Many cells work together to carry out life functions

  7. Asexually Sexually 2. All living things Reproduce Requires a male sperm & female egg One cell divides into two cells

  8. 3. All living things Grow • Change in size, shape & structure

  9. 4. Living things respond to the environment • A stimulus causes a response • Homeostasis (Maintaining internal conditions) • Ex: Temperature • Ex: Survival

  14. Summary Write a one or two sentence summary on the characteristics of life at the bottom of your Living or Nonliving Lab MUST INCLUDE ALL 5 CHARACTERISTICS EX: All living things share the following characteristics… EX: To be considered living, organisms must contain…
