Characteristics of Living Things
S7L1• Students will investigate the diversity
of living organisms and how they can be compared scientifically.
S7L4• Students will examine the dependence
of organisms on one another and their environment.

What do living things need?
Reproduce
Grow & Develop
Made of cells.
Some are single celled.
Others are many celled.
Water
A place to live that
supplies for all of its needs
Raw materialsLiving things have a life span
1 day to many years
Energy used by
most organisms
comes directly or
indirectly from the sunBy interacting with their surroundings.
Homeostasis, the ability to keep proper conditions inside, is a trait of all living things
Reproduce new organisms like itself

When Cells Get TogetherLevels of Organization
Living things have different levels of organization. The simplest level of organization is that of the A group of cells with a similar function is called a Groups of tissues working together to perform a common function is called an An example of this would include the nervous, muscle, and other tissues which make up the heart. Groups of organs working together to perform a common function are referred to as a system or an . The
blood vessels, blood, and the heart are organs which work together to form the circulatory system. Many
different systems function together to allow a complex to function.

PROKARYOTIC CELL
• HAS NO NUCLEAR BOUND NUCLEUS• HAS HEREDITARY MATERIAL/DNA• ONLY EUBACTERIA AND
ARCHAEBACTERIA HAVE THIS TYPE OF CELL
EUKARYOTIC CELL
• HAS A NUCLEAR BOUND CELL WITH HEREDITARY MATERIAL/DNA
• FOUND IN ANIMALS, PLANTS, FUNGI AND PROTISTS
