How do Scientists know if it is living or nonliving?
13
Characteristics of Life
Scientists use the…. Characteristics of Life Homeostasis 4. Reproduction 2. Metabolism 5. Heredity 3. Cellular Organization
14
“You Need 5 to be ALIVE” Characteristics of Life Homeostasis
Reproduction Metabolism Heredity Cellular Organization Golden RULE: Something must demonstrate all 5 characteristics of life to be living. Rhyme to Remember: “You Need 5 to be ALIVE”
15
Characteristics of Life
Scientists use the…. Characteristics of Life Homeostasis Reproduction Metabolism Heredity Cellular Organization
16
Maintaining relatively stable internal conditions
Homeostasis Maintaining relatively stable internal conditions 98.6 F

22
The production of genetically similar (or identical) offspring
Reproduction The production of genetically similar (or identical) offspring

Homeostasis Reproduction Metabolism Heredity Cellular Organization
24
Heredity The transfer of genetic information (found in DNA) from parent to offspring DNA = Genes

Are they… LIVING NONLIVING
Using the Characteristics of Life, let’s take another look at some other subjects. Are they… LIVING NONLIVING or
