- Cellular organization - Cellular organization has to do with all the components of the cell and how they are organized.
- Reproduction - Reproduction is the reproducing or multiplying a population to maintain the species.
- Metabolism - Metabolism is all the combined chemical reactions that happen in a organism to maintain life.
- Homeostasis - Homeostasis is the ability to maintain a steady internal environment to maintain life.
- Heredity - Heredity is the passing of physical and mental characteristics through generations and generations.
- Response to stimuli - Response to stimuli is response to your environment, The changes these organisms under go are usually very quick.
- Growth and development - Growth and development is a ever going stage in an organisms life time, Most growth and development happen in youth but continues even when older.
- Adaptation through evolution - Adaptation through evolution allows organisms to adjust and change their bodies to changing environments and conditions, These adaptations can sometimes leave older parts of the body useless, or alters them to keep them useful.
Summary
Without the characteristics of life we would not live as long as we do, and living would be much more difficult. Through homeostasis, adaptation, and all the other characteristics our bodies adjust, and alter to help improve ability to live everyday life. Without the changes our bodies under go it would be a lot more difficult to live, and the world and organisms would be the same as they were centuries ago.
