All living things are made of cells. unicellular or multicellular

2. Reproduction Sexual or asexual

Autotrophs – photosynthesis Heterotrophs - eat 3. Obtain and Use Energy Autotrophs – photosynthesis Heterotrophs - eat https://encrypted-tbn3.gtatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcTUZrKoUXmWEJeibwqJjY-NNr3tIC8qagpBV-qIf-SFHOvVGq3z

4. Homeostasis Maintain stable internal conditions: temperature, blood pressure, fluids, etc

5. Respond to their environment Stimulus ………………………………………. Response

6. Growth and Development Lifespan: Birth, growth, maturity, decline, death

7. Heredity All organisms pass on traits. The traits are on the genes, which are made of DNA

8. All species evolve Species change over time: beneficial adaptations are passed on, harmful ones die out
