Living Nonliving Dead Matter Matter is made up

Living, Non-living & Dead

Matter • Matter is made up of atoms. • Atoms have mass and volume (take up space). SO… • Matter is anything that has mass & volume.

Atoms • They are the smallest particles that make up matter. • They have a dense central nucleus made of protons & neutrons and electrons orbiting around the outside. • Atoms are tightly packed in solids, looser in liquids and widely spaced in gases.

Living • Made up of cells that are doing life functions. Bacteria Protist Fungus Blood Animal (Human) Nerve Bone Plant Muscle

Cells • The basic unit of living things. • They do life functions.

Life Functions • Take in nutrients for energy. • Maintain homeostasis (dynamic equilibrium) • Growth • Development • Reproduction • Evolution

Take in nutrients for energy • Organisms must find and take in food items. • Cells take in nutrients so they can do cell respiration to release the stored chemical energy.

Maintain Homeostasis • Maintain balanced internal chemistry. • Organisms respond to outside stimuli. • All organ systems participate in keeping equilibrium. • Endocrine system helps chemical balance.

Growth • Increase in size. • Due to addition of cells by cell division.

Development • Sequence of life stages. • Frogs , insects, plants and even humans go through developmental steps.

Reproduction • Making new organisms. • Asexually with one parent making clones of itself. • Sexually with 2 parent using sperm &eggs.

Evolution • Change in a species over time. • Evolution driven by survival of the fittest. • Adapting to changes in the environment.

Non-Living • Made of ATOMS. • The atoms ARE NOT arranged into cells.

What do you call something that is made of cells that no longer can do life functions? Dead!
