Term
| what are the 6 characteristics of life and what to each of them mean |
|
Definition
1. Cell Structure
- Unicellular: one cell
- Multicellular: more than one cell
2. Organisms are Organized
- Differentiation
- Compartmentalization: Cells have different compartments for different jobs
- Cells change for a special function
3. Energy
- Metabolism: to use energy and get rid of waste
- Autotrophs: make own food (almost all get energy from sun)
- Heterotrophs: get energy (food) from other sources
4. Homeostasis
- Adapt to keep internal conditions the same
5. Growth and Development
- Cell division: it grows by making more cells
- Development is the series of changes the cell organism goes through
6. Reproduction
- Necessary for survival, Deoxy Ribonucleic Acid (DNA)- has genetic information |
