What does it take to be a living thing? 4&feature=fvwrel&NR=1

So to be living you need To be composed of cells To reproduce (sexually or asexually) To pass traits to offspring (DNA), otherwise known as heredity. To maintain a balanced environment (homeostasis) To obtain and use energy (metabolism) To grow and develop (maturation) To respond to changes around them (frost, disease)

Here is what they are 4&feature=fvwrel&NR=1

Areas to Study Problem solving and Answering Questions Through Scientific Investigation. Cells and their functions Homeostasis and maintaining a stable environment Cell Reproduction and Heredity Reproduction Strategies Populations and Specie Diversity History of Life and Evolution Ecology and the Interactions of Organisms
