Characteristics of Life - Hunter Jones



Characteristics of life are things that can be observed in objects to see if they are living or non-living. The characteristics of life are ....

•Has Cells
Reproduces
•Has some form of Homeostasis
Responds to stimuli
•Needs Energy to survive

There are more characteristics that can be observed but these are the main five that you will find in every living organism.

Summary
I have learned that characteristics of life are things that can be observed in living organisms. I know about the characteristics of life because of our lab in class where we observed the different objects in the classroom. Our group was shocked that a potato is still alive even after its taken from the ground because it has cells and can reproduce.
