Living things are biological structures that respond to changes in the environment or within their own entities. This includes animals, plants, fungi and the single-celled organisms known as bacteria. Living things have complex biochemical organizations that allow them to process substances and utilize energy in order to respond to changes around them.
There are eight common characteristics of living things that differentiates them from nonliving things. This presentation is discusses these characteristics.

introduction to cell biology
Cell Biology
The cell is a chemical system that can maintain its structure and reproduce.
Cells are the fundamental unit of life.
All living things are cells or composed of cells.
The interior contents of cells in the cytoplasm
The cell is a chemical system that can maintain its structure and reproduce.
Cells are the fundamental unit of life.
All living things are cells or composed of cells.
The interior contents of cells in the cytoplasm.
Cell, in biology, the basic membrane-bound unit that contains the fundamental molecules of life and of which all living things are composed.
A single cell is often a complete organism in itself, such as a bacterium or yeast.
Other cells acquire specialized functions as they mature.
These cells cooperate with other specialized cells and become the building blocks of large multicellular organisms, such as humans and other animals.
The smallest known cells are a group of tiny bacteria called mycoplasmas; some of these single-celled organisms are spheres as small as 0.2 μm in diameter.
Largest cell ….
The largest single-celled organism is an animal
called Syringammina fragilissima, which can grow to a width of 4 inches.
– are highly folded, forming a complex network of tubes.
The biological science which deals with the study of structure, function, molecular organization, growth, reproduction, and genetics of the cells, is called cytology or cell biology
(Gr., kytos = hollow vessel or cell; logos = to discourse).
Much of cell biology is devoted to the study of structures and functions of specialized cells.
Individual cells that form our bodies can grow, reproduce, process information, respond to stimuli, and carry out an amazing array of chemical reactions.
If you look around you will see a large variety of living organisms, be itpotted plants, insects, birds, your pets or other animals and plants. Thereare also several organisms that you cannot see with your naked eye butthey are all around you.
Instructions for Submissions thorugh G- Classroom.pptxJheel Barad
This presentation provides a briefing on how to upload submissions and documents in Google Classroom. It was prepared as part of an orientation for new Sainik School in-service teacher trainees. As a training officer, my goal is to ensure that you are comfortable and proficient with this essential tool for managing assignments and fostering student engagement.

This slides describes the basic concepts of ICT, basics of Email, Emerging Technology and Digital Initiatives in Education. This presentations aligns with the UGC Paper I syllabus.
This is a presentation by Dada Robert in a Your Skill Boost masterclass organised by the Excellence Foundation for South Sudan (EFSS) on Saturday, the 25th and Sunday, the 26th of May 2024.
He discussed the concept of quality improvement, emphasizing its applicability to various aspects of life, including personal, project, and program improvements. He defined quality as doing the right thing at the right time in the right way to achieve the best possible results and discussed the concept of the "gap" between what we know and what we do, and how this gap represents the areas we need to improve. He explained the scientific approach to quality improvement, which involves systematic performance analysis, testing and learning, and implementing change ideas. He also highlighted the importance of client focus and a team approach to quality improvement.
The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

The Art Pastor's Guide to Sabbath | Steve ThomasonSteve Thomason
What is the purpose of the Sabbath Law in the Torah. It is interesting to compare how the context of the law shifts from Exodus to Deuteronomy. Who gets to rest, and why?
2. Living things.
Living things: There are three vital functions:
1º: Nutriction means to get nutrients from the
food. 2º: Reproduction means making new
living things.3º: Interaction means to react to
changes of the enviroment.Types of living
things: Animals, plants, bacteria, fungi and
algae.
4. 1º part of Nutrition.
What is nutrition? Nutrition is to obtain
nutrients from the enviroment and transform
them into energy.
How do plants do it? Plants produce their own
food through photosynthesis and they need:
water and minerals, sunlight and carbon
dioxide.
5. 2º part of Nutrition.
How do animals do it? Animals feed on other living things
and they can be: Carnivores eat other animals,
hervivores eat plants and omnivores eat plants and other
animals.
How do fungi and bacteria do it? Fungi and bacteria feed
on the remains of dead animals and plants.
6. Reproduction.
What is it? Reproduction means making new living things.
Types: Asexual and sexual. In asexual reproduction one
individual is needed, for example: sea start, bacteria,
pine apple, etc…
In sexual reproduction two individuals are needed: male
and female.
7. Interaction.
What is it? In interaction there is a change and
there is a reaction.
Elements: Stimulus is the change and response
is the reaction.
8. Cell.
What is it? It is the smallest part in which living
things are divided.
Structure: Many cells make tissues, many
tissues make organs, many organs make
systems and many systems make organisms.
9. Nucleous.
It is a part of the cell that controls the
functions of the cell. It is like a Town Hall
in a city.
10. Cell membrane.
It is a part of the cell that controls what
enters and leaves the cell. It is like a
group of guards.
11. Cytoplasm.
It is a subtance where all parts of the cell
float around. It is like the atmosphere of
a city.
12. Vacuoles.
It is a part of the cell that contain water
and minerals for the cell. They are like
reservoirs in a city.
13. Cell wall.
It is a part of the cell that protecs the
cell. It is like the city wall.
14. Chloroplast.
It is a part of the cell that contain
chlorophyll which plants need for
photosynthesis. They are like parks in a
city.
24. Tissues.
What are they made up of? They are made up of a
number of cells working together that carry out a
particular function.
Examples: Xylem, muscle, tissue, etc…
25. Organs.
What are they made up of? They are made up of a nuber
of tissues working together that carry out a particular
function.
Examples: Heart, lungs, stomach, brain, veins, etc…
26. Systems.
What are they made up of? They are made up of a
number of organs working together that carry out a
particular function.
Examples: Circulatory, digestive, excretory, respiratory,
reproductive, etc…
27. Organisms.
What are they made up of? They are made up of a
number of systems working together that carry out a
particular function.
Examples: Animals, plants, fungi, bacteria, algae, etc…
