What are the characteristics of life?
Solution
Answer:
Chatacteristics of life:
(1) Growth: All living organisms grow, but it is not the defining feature of organisms. It is
because non living things, such as a sand dune can grow over time due to accumulation of more
sand particles on it. Growth in living organisms are intrinsic (from inside) while those of non
living things are extrinsic (from outside). More specifically, intrinsic growth is the defining
feature of an organism. In unicellular organisms, growth and reproduction are synonymous.
(2) Metabolism: All living organisms metabolise, that is they undergo varieties of biochemical
reactions in the body, both to synthesize and degrade macromolecules. The sum total of the
catabolic and anabolic processes in the body is called metabolism. It is the defining feature of
living organisms.
(3) Cellular organisation: All living organisms have cellular architecture, be it a multicelluar
organism like humans or unicellular like a bacterium. The cell contains DNA which carries all
the necessary informations to make the proteins required for carrying out biological functions. It
is also a defining feature of living beings.
(4) Reproduction: Living organisms are characterized by the ability to reproduce. But, it is not a
defining feature of living organisms. For example, infertile couples, worker bees and mules
cannot reproduce but are living.
(5) Conciousness: This is another defining feature of living things. Conciousness is the ability of
an organism to respond to changes in its environment, more specifically to external stimuli.
Human beings are the only organisms to have self conciousness.
(6) Energy: Living things take energy for their growth and functions.
(7) Homeostasis: It is the process of maintaining a constant balance in the internal environment
of the body and plays a crucial role in sustaining life..
Is it alive
This document outlines the key characteristics that are common to all living things:
1) All living things are composed of cells that contain DNA.
2) Living things are organized from microscopic to macroscopic levels and can reproduce.
3) The document then lists 7 characteristics in more detail: cells/DNA, order/organization, growth and development, reproduction, energy processing, response to stimuli, and regulation/homeostasis. It states that all living things share these characteristics.

TITLE: Discuss the properties of life, basic chemical terminology, and molecules and compounds of a cell necessary for life.
Biology is the scientific study of life. It’s a subject that enormous scope and increases all the time. Which leads to many questions like: What is life? Or, let me put it to you this way, what distinguishes living things from non-living? Properties of Life: All living organisms share several key characteristics and/or function. Here you will find seven properties of life: order, response to the environment, reproduction, growth and development, regulation, homeostasis, and energyprocessing. If we analyze these seven characteristics we realize that it serves to define life. I’m going to start off by showing you what each property represents and the important role it plays in life.
(1).Order. Organisms are highly organized, coordinated structures that consist of one or more cells. Even very simple, single-celled organisms are remarkably complex: inside each cell, atoms make up molecules; these in turn make up cell organelles and other cellular inclusions. In multicellular organisms, similar cells form tissues. Tissues, in turn, collaborate to create organs (body structures with a distinct function). Organs work together to form organ systems. (2).
Response to the environment. Organisms can respond to diverse stimuli. For example, plants can grow toward a source of light, climb on fences and walls, or respond to touch. Even tiny bacteria can move toward or away from chemicals (a process called chemo taxis) or light (photo taxis). Movement toward a stimulus is considered a positive response, while movement away from a stimulus is considered a negative response. (3). Reproduction. Single-celled organisms reproduce by first duplicating their DNA. They then divide it equally as the cell prepares to divide to form two new cells. Multicellular organisms often produce specialized reproductive germ line cells that will form new individuals. When reproduction occurs, genes containing DNA are passed along to an organism's offspring. These genes ensure that the offspring will belong to the same species and will have similar characteristics, such as size and shape. (4). Growth and Development. All organisms grow and develop following specific instructions coded for by their genes. These genes provide instructions that will direct cellular growth and development, ensuring that a species' young will grow up to exhibit many of the same characteristics as its parents. (5).Regulation. Even the smallest organisms are complex and require multiple regulatory mechanisms to coordinate internal functions, respond to stimuli, and cope with environmental stresses. Two examples of internal functions regulated in an organism are nutrient transport and blood flow. Organs (groups of tissues working together) perform specific functions, such as carrying oxygen ...

Various specimens - a feather, fire, bean, yeast, and virus - are examined against these criteria to determine if they are living or non-living.
01 characteristics of life
There are eight key characteristics of life. All living things are made of cells, are highly organized, use energy constantly, grow and develop, have an expected lifespan, reproduce themselves, respond to stimuli, and adapt to their environment. There is unity within diversity in that all organisms share these characteristics of life but can vary greatly in their chemical makeup, structure, and function. The basic unit of life is the cell, which comes from pre-existing cells and can be organized as unicellular, multicellular, or colonial organisms.
Characteristics of living things

THE SACRIFICE HOW PRO-PALESTINE PROTESTS STUDENTS ARE SACRIFICING TO CHANGE T...
The recent surge in pro-Palestine student activism has prompted significant responses from universities, ranging from negotiations and divestment commitments to increased transparency about investments in companies supporting the war on Gaza. This activism has led to the cessation of student encampments but also highlighted the substantial sacrifices made by students, including academic disruptions and personal risks. The primary drivers of these protests are poor university administration, lack of transparency, and inadequate communication between officials and students. This study examines the profound emotional, psychological, and professional impacts on students engaged in pro-Palestine protests, focusing on Generation Z's (Gen-Z) activism dynamics. This paper explores the significant sacrifices made by these students and even the professors supporting the pro-Palestine movement, with a focus on recent global movements. Through an in-depth analysis of printed and electronic media, the study examines the impacts of these sacrifices on the academic and personal lives of those involved. The paper highlights examples from various universities, demonstrating student activism's long-term and short-term effects, including disciplinary actions, social backlash, and career implications. The researchers also explore the broader implications of student sacrifices. The findings reveal that these sacrifices are driven by a profound commitment to justice and human rights, and are influenced by the increasing availability of information, peer interactions, and personal convictions. The study also discusses the broader implications of this activism, comparing it to historical precedents and assessing its potential to influence policy and public opinion. The emotional and psychological toll on student activists is significant, but their sense of purpose and community support mitigates some of these challenges. However, the researchers call for acknowledging the broader Impact of these sacrifices on the future global movement of FreePalestine.

Characteristics of Life--updated.ppt
- 1. Characteristics of Life Chapter 1, Section 3
- 2. Biology = the study of life What does it mean to be alive??? • There are 8 characteristics of life . . . –No single characteristic is enough to describe a living thing . . . –They must have all eight.
- 3. 8 Characteristics of Life 1. Living things are made up cells. 2. Living things reproduce. 3. Living things are based on a universal genetic code (DNA). 4. Living things grow and develop.
- 4. 8 Characteristics of Life (cont.) 5. Living things obtain and use materials and energy. 6. Living things respond to their environment. 7. Living things maintain a stable internal environment. (homeostasis) 8. Taken as a group, living things change over time.
- 5. 1—Made up of cells They can be either unicellular or multicellular. Picture of a Cell ***Unicellular = made up of ONE cell Picture of a unicellular organism. ***Multi-cellular = made up of MORE than one cell Picture of multicellular organisms
- 6. 2—Reproduction ***asexual = reproduction that requires ONE parent ***sexual = reproduction that requires TWO parents There are 2 types of reproduction: 1. Asexual 2. Sexual
- 7. 3—Based on a genetic code ***DNA = DNA is the genetic code found in every cell. DNA is inherited from parents and controls your traits.
- 8. 4—Grow and Develop ***Think about it . . . Do you look the same as when you were born???? **All living things grow and develop during at least part of their life.
- 9. 5—Need for materials and energy **Living things need a constant supply of materials and energy. **Metabolism = the process of using those materials.
- 10. 6—Response to the environment **Internal stimuli = signal comes from inside the organism **Organisms detect and respond to STIMULI (or signals) from their environment. **External stimuli = signal comes from outside the organism
- 11. 7—Maintaining internal balance Despite changing conditions around them, organism must keep their internal conditions stable/balanced. **Homeostasis = the process of keeping the internal environment stable/balance/constant
- 12. 8—Change over time Over hundreds, thousands, and millions of years, organisms have the potential to change = evolution
