  1. Characteristics of Living Organisms Organization Metabolism Respond to Stimuli Reproduce Evolve

  2. Living Things are Organized(Cell Theory) • all living things are composed of cells • cells are the basic units of life • cells are produced from other cells

  10. The cell is the basic unit of life. • Anton van Leeuwenhoek (1632-1723)

  11. Single Cell Life Form Source: http://www.umanitoba.ca/faculties/science/biological_sciences/lab3/images/bacillus.gif

  12. Cells come from cells. • Rudolf Ludwig Karl Virchow (1821 - 1902)

  13. so…to review cell theory • All life forms are made from one or more cells. • Cells only arise from pre-existing cells. • The cell is the smallest form of life.

  15. Living Things Metabolize • Metabolism is the sum of all of the chemical and energy transformations that take place in an organism.

  16. Homeostasis is the maintenance of internal conditions within certain boundaries.

  17. Respond to Stimuli • Organisms react in the presence of appropriate stimuli physiologically and behaviorally.

  18. Living Things Reproduce • All living things come from other living things. • Living things make copies of themselves; to do so they pass on genes.

  19. Living Things Evolve • Evolution is change in characteristics of populations/species over time resulting from mutation & natural selection. • These changes result in adaptations (characteristics that increase the likelihood that species survive and reproduce).
