    Grade 9 Characteristics of Life

    Uploaded by

    Kevin Cheow
    Biology is the study of living things called organisms. All organisms share common characteristics including being made of cells, reproducing, having DNA, growing and developing, obtaining and using energy, responding to their environment, and evolving over time. There are two main types of cells - prokaryotic cells that lack organelles and a nucleus, and eukaryotic cells that have organelles and a nucleus. Organisms can reproduce sexually involving two parents or asexually involving one parent. All organisms need food and undergo cellular respiration to release energy. They also maintain homeostasis and adapt to changes in their environment over time. Life is organized into levels from atoms to molecules to cells and tissues to organs and organ systems within organisms.

    things
    Living things are called
    organisms
    Organisms include Monera

    All Living Things Share
    Common Characteristics
    1. Basic Unit is the CELL
    2. REPRODUCE sexually or
    asexually
    3. All Based On Universal
    Genetic Code DNA - RNA

    Cell is the smallest living unit of
    an organism
    All cells contain living material
    called cytoplasm
    All cells are surrounded by a cell
    membrane that controls what
