6. Title page 18, Characteristics of Living Things Contain cells: These cells are eukaryotic or prokaryotic. All animals and plants contain eukaryotic cells. Bacteria and Achaea, are made of prokaryotic cells. Contain DNA: This is the genetic material of living things, it is contained in the nucleus. It provides all the information which is needed to make another cell. Use Energy: They use energy, that is made from eating food and the process of respiration; where sugar reacts with oxygen to produce carbon dioxide, water and ATP (energy). All living things also have the following characteristics:
