All living things need to maintain homeostasis, take in and use energy sources, release waste if produced, grow and develop, respond to changes and adapt or evolve, and contain genetic material and reproduce. The document discusses the basic requirements for living things and transitions to discussing how different living things depend on one another.

1. Biology
Unit 1 Notes:
Living Requirements

2. All living things need to be able to:
• Maintain Homeostasis
(Homeostasis = Maintaining internal balance / stability.)
• Take in and use energy sources.
• Release waste if produced.
• Grow and develop.
• Respond to changes and adapt/evolve.
• Contain genetic material and reproduce.

3. Now we want to think about…
How do different living
things depend on one
another?
