Characteristics of Living Things

Grow

and Develop

Grow and Develop Examples? Explanation: Increase the number of cells Increase the size of the cell In other words: Every living thing must get bigger before reproducing. Examples?

Receive Inputs

Inputs Examples? Explanation: Living things need to take in matter and energy In other words: Life eats, absorbs, and/or “basks” to get what it needs. Examples?

Release Outputs

Outputs Examples? Explanation: Living things need to release matter and energy to the environment. In other words: Living things must get rid of waste and excess stuff or energy. Examples?

Reproduce

Reproduce Examples? Explanation: Living things are produced by another organism In other words: Living things go through a life-cycle: birth-growth-reproduction-death. Examples?

Respond to Environment

Respond (Adapt) Examples? Explanation: Living things are capable of reacting to internal/external stimuli and making changes to increase the chance of survival. Examples? In other words: Living things react to their environment
