And now a quiz!:

And now a quiz! Look at each picture. Think about what is true of all living things. Remember, to be a living thing, something must have all 6 characteristics : move sense and respond to change use energy grow and develop reproduce have one or more cells Answer each as “living” or “non-living.”

Characteristics of Living Things:

Characteristics of Living Things Standard 6-2.1

What are living things?:

What are living things? Fill in the T-chart regarding living and non-living things. List things that you think are living and list things that are non-living. Do not include things that are dead.

What are living things?:

What are living things? Living things Non-Living things . Animals Plants Bacteria Fungus etc. Dirt Rocks Light Computers etc.

Living vs. Non-living things:

Living vs. Non-living things Living things Non-Living things .

What are living things?:

What are living things? Look at all of the living things that are listed. What are two things that they all have in common? Look at all of the non-living things that are listed. What are two things that they all have in common?

All living things need energy:

All living things need energy All organisms must obtain resources: food oxygen water These resources are used to perform the basic processes of life such as growing and developing or repairing injuries.

All living things need energy:

All living things need energy All organisms are either autotrophs or heterotrophs. Autotrophs: use photosynthesis to make their own food. Heterotrophs: must eat things. Sketch an autotroph and a heterotroph in the spaces provided. Respiration releases energy from food.

Autotroph vs. Heterotroph:

Autotroph vs. Heterotroph Autotrophs Heterotrophs .

Respond to Stimulus:

Respond to Stimulus All organisms respond to stimuli. A stimulus is any change that will cause an organism to react. List 5 examples of stimuli that a human might react to. The reaction to a stimulus is called a response. Responses may be actions or behaviors. List an example of a response to each of your previously listed stimuli.

Reproduce:

Reproduce For a species to survive, organisms of that species must reproduce Asexual reproduction: Only one parent. The offspring is identical to the parent. Ex: bacteria, worms, sea stars, etc. Sexual reproduction: Involves two parents. The offspring is not identical to the parent. Ex: humans, flowering plants, birds, etc.

Grow and Develop:

Grow and Develop All living things grow and develop. Growth is when an organism gets larger. An example of growth is when a tree gets bigger as the years go by. Development is when an organism becomes more complex. An example of development is when a tadpole changes into a frog. Energy is required for both of these processes.
