Living things have several key characteristics: 1) They can move and change positions. They breathe through lungs, stomata, or other respiratory structures and need oxygen. 2) They need to consume and metabolize energy sources, either through photosynthesis as autotrophs or by consuming other organisms as heterotrophs. 3) They grow in size and complexity through development and can respond to external and internal stimuli in their environment. 4) All living things have the ability to reproduce and pass their genetic material to offspring. They also excrete metabolic waste.

2. Characteristics of Living
things

3. 1. MOVE
•
CHANGES POSITION from its
original position

4. 2. BREATHING & RESPIRATION
LUNGS
STOMATA

6. TOOL FOR BREATHING IN THE LIVING
WATER FISH WITH LITTLE OXYGEN
CONTENT
Labyrinth to store oxygen reserves

7. 3. EAT OR NEED ENERGY
AUTOTROF & HETEROTROF
LIVING THINGS NEED TO PRODUCE ENERGY

8. 4. GROWTH AND DEVELOPMENT
Growth is when an organism
becomes larger, increasing its
mass, length or volume.
Its can be measured (qualitative)
Development is the process
where an organism becomes
more complex.
Its can’t be measured
(quantitative)

9. 5. RESPOND TO STIMULATION
MIMOSA PUDICA

11. Living things respond to their
environment.
a) Organisms detect and
respond to stimuli from
their environment.
b) A stimulus is a signal to
which an organism
responds.
c) External stimuli include
temperature and light.
d) Internal stimuli come from
within, such as blood sugar
level or feeling thirsty.

12. 6. REPRODUCTION
The biological process by which
new individual organisms are
produce.
Its the process by which new
organisms are generated. Its
mechanism of species
continuation

13. 7. EXCRETION
The process that rids body of metabolic wastes

15. Discussion
• Make a group into 4 group.
• The material about Characteristics of Living things
• you have to make 3 questions for another group
• Each group will answer the question from another
group
• Each group does a presentation in front of the class
• Each group preparing your team to be Mc and
presenter
• Explain your answer the question in english

16. Each group consist of
