- Grows & develops -- Ex. Seed to Plant or Egg&sperm to fetus to infant to child to adult.
- Responds to stimuli -- signal that causes a response.
- Reproduce -- Produce new organism; sexually: 2 parents mate to form new organism. and Asexually: Single organism produce identical offspring by itself.
- Homeostasis -- stable internal environment.
- Use material & energy -- Take in materials to help you grow, develop & reproduce.
- Made up of cell(s) -- smallest unit of life.
- Evolve -- Species changing over a long period of time. changes happen over hundreds or thousands of years.

FranLiving things are characterized by a set of features, such as the ability to grow, reproduce, respond to stimuli, adapt to their environment, and maintain homeostasis. These essential characteristics differentiate living organisms from non-living entities. Additionally, living things are made up of cells, which are the fundamental units of life and carry out all the necessary functions for the organism to survive.

What are non living things not made of?
most of them are actually made of metal, cloth, rubber, leather and plastic Under non-living things, there are two groups: 1) Once Alive 2) Never Alive Once alive are things that are from alive things such as the skin of the snake used to make a handbag. The snake skin is a non-living thing but it was classified under once alive. Never alive are things such as some diamonds, minerals that are extracted from the ground. They are not alive, not even from where they are extracted. That is never alive.
Is the Protein alive?
Proteins are not of themselves alive. However, proteins are the building blocks of all living things.
What do you call the smallest particle that makes up things?
what do you call the smallest partical that makes up all things
Is a plant cell alive?
Yes. Plants are living, growing entities. Plants die, so they would have to be alive. (since only living things can die) of course there alive they wouldn't grow if they weren't.
Why does a cell alive but not its parts?
A cell is alive because of the interactions and functions of its parts working together in a coordinated manner. Individually, the parts of a cell do not exhibit all the characteristics of life, such as growth, metabolism, and response to stimuli. It is the integrated and organized system within the cell that allows it to be considered alive.
