1. Characteristics of Life Quiz 2A part 1
organism: a complete, living thing

2. Objectives
I will be able to describe six characteristics that all living organisms have in common.
I will be able to identify the stages of an organism’s life cycle.
I will be able to describe a typical cell.
I will be able to differentiate between unicellular and multicellular organisms.
I will be able to explain the main ways organisms obtain energy.

3. Characteristics of Life
All living things are organized, grow and develop, reproduce, respond, maintain certain internal conditions, and use energy.
Things that have all the characteristics of life are called Organisms..

4. Characteristics or Attributes of Life
These characteristics are not actually "life" itself, but things that are alive possess these characteristics.

5. Characteristics or Attributes of Life
Organisms have life cycles
Organisms can reproduce
Organisms grow
Organisms are made of cells
Organisms require energy
Organisms respond to their environment

6. Organisms have life cycles
Growth
Birth
Reproduction
Death
life cycle: the sequence of stages during an organism's life

7. Organisms are made of cells

8. cell: a tiny unit of living material surrounded by a thin membrane
A cell is the smallest living unit
of an organism.

9. cell: basic units of structure and function in living things

10. Organization of cells
Unicellular organisms are organisms made of only one cell.
Living things that are made of two or more cells are called multicellular organisms.

11. Growth and Development
Changes that occur in an organism during its lifetime are called development.
In multicellular organisms, development happens as cells become specialized into different cell types.
Some organisms have dramatic developmental changes, such as a tadpole becoming a frog.

14. Organisms grow
They grow by assimilation (the process by which living cells convert nutrients into cellular structures).

15. Reproduction
Reproduction is the process by which one organism makes one or more new organisms.
Some organisms can reproduce by dividing and becoming two new organisms.
Some organisms must have a mate to reproduce, but others can reproduce without a mate.

16. Organisms can reproduce.
Life comes from life.
Living things reproduce after their own kind.

17. Energy
Cells continuously use energy to transport substances, make new cells, and perform chemical reactions.
For most organisms, energy for life comes from the Sun. The Sun’s energy can be passed from one organism to another.

18. Organisms require energy
Plants obtain energy from the sun.
Animals obtain energy from plants.

20. Responses to Stimuli
All living things respond to changes in the environment called stimuli. There are two types of stimuli:
Internal stimuli are changes within an organism.
External stimuli are changes in an organism’s environment.

21. Organisms respond to their environment

22. physical life
A complex organization of nonliving substances that continues by using energy and that has the characteristics of living things

23. spiritual life
man's relationship with God
                 

24. spiritual life A person must be born again.
A person must grow spiritually.
Everyone has both a living body and a living spirit.
                 

25. spiritual life
Often God describes spiritual life by comparing it to physical life.
