What makes something alive ?
What are living things? There are certain criteria that determine if something is living. Do ALL 9 criteria have to be met? Yes, ALL 9 criteria must be met.
Organism l Anything that possesses all of the following characteristics of life. l Living things R-CHARGEED !!
R - eproduce All living things produce offspring. Making copies of individuals by genetic transfer, sexually or asexually.
C - ells -Living organisms show an orderly structure (made up of cells) Cross-section of worm Examples: Leaf Centipede
H - omeostasis The ability to maintain internal conditions separate from an outside environment. Example: The human body maintains an average temperature of 98. 6 ºF.
A - dapt to the environment R - espond to stimuli A living organism will respond to an environmental condition called a stimulus. An adaptation is any characteristic of an organism that improves its chances of surviving in its environment A plant growing in a specific direction due to a light stimulus.
Living things change l -living things interact with the environment, and adjust to their surroundings l -environment- biotic (living) and abiotic (nonliving) factors that an organism must constantly interact with (air, water, temperature, other organisms, etc. )
G - rowth D - evelopment l Getting Bigger / Increasing material l All of the changes that take place during the life of an organism. Maturing. Growth rings in a tree Amoeba absorbing nutrients
E - energy Metabolism. Chemical and energy transformations. All organisms need energy for all life activities. Even thinking requires a considerable amount of energy. Transforming glucose into ATP for energy (to do work).
E - evolve The gradual accumulation of adaptations due to environmental stimuli. (Organisms with more suitable adaptations are more likely to survive and reproduce) Example: Owls, and other nocturnal animals have evolved large eyes for better night vision.

How are living things organized? There are various levels of organization: Let’s start small and get bigger.
1) Atoms are the smallest unit of matter that have the chemical properties of a particular element. Examples: Carbon, Hydrogen, Oxygen…
2) Molecules that are the small building blocks from which larger molecules are made. Examples: Glucose Amino Acid Water
3) Macromolecules Large molecules consisting of many subunits. Examples: Protein Cellulose
4) Organelles Specialized structures inside of a cell. Examples: Mitochondria Cell Membrane
5) Cells The smallest unit of biological organization that biologists consider alive. Example:
6) Tissue A group of distinct and similar cells that carry out a specific set of functions. Examples: Muscle Skin
7) Organ Groups of tissues organized together to carry out a particular set of functions. Examples: Brain Stomach
8) Organ System Groups of organs that function together to carry out broad sets of functions. Example:
9) Organism (or individual) Individual that has its own distinct existence as a complex, reproducing unit. Examples:
10) Population Group of freely interacting and breeding individuals of the same species. Examples: School of fish Herd of Zebra
11) Community Populations of different species living and interacting together in a distinct area. Example: Marine community
12) Ecosystem Distinguishable groups of species and the abiotic (non-living) components of the environment with which the living creatures interact. Examples:
13. ) Biome l Geographically defined area based on climate and environmental conditions.
14. ) Biosphere l I’m sure you can figure this one out!
