All living organisms share several key characteristics or functions: order, sensitivity or response to the environment, reproduction, growth and development, regulation, homeostasis, and energy processing.
Big Ideas: All living things have certain traits in common: Cellular organization, the ability to reproduce, growth & development, energy use, homeostasis, response to their environment, and the ability to adapt. Living things will exhibit all of these traits.
Cells = Living things have one or more cells.Homeostasis = The maintenance of a relatively stable internal environment.Reproduction = The ability to form a new offspring.Metabolism = The ability to obtain and use. energy for growth and movement.DNA/Heredity = Genetic material that is passed on during reproduction.
The choice that is not a characteristic of life is C) composed of atoms. All matter is composed of atoms, including every solid, liquid, gas and plasma that exists. This includes many different types of non-living substances, such as rocks, water, and air.

Terms in this set (9) organization, reproduction, adaption, growth and development, DNA, energy, homeostasis, evolution.
1. Sexual Reproduction- The production of living organisms to make a new organism. 2. Asexual Reproduction- The process of which single organisms can reproduce without aid of another.

Reproduction. One of the significant characteristics of living organisms that distinguishes them from others is that they can reproduce. Life creates more life on Earth, whether it is a bacterium, tree, rabbit, or human being. Reproduction can take place through an asexual or sexual process.

These characteristics are reproduction, heredity, cellular organization, growth and development, response to stimuli, adaptation through evolution, homeostasis, and metabolism.
All living organisms share several key characteristics or functions: order, sensitivity or response to the environment, reproduction, growth and development, regulation, homeostasis, and energy processing. When viewed together, these eight characteristics serve to define life.
