A Property of All Living Things: Reproduces its own kind, Takes in, converts, and expels energy, Composed of one or more cells, Populations evolve over time, Complex, but well-ordered, structure, Responds to the environment. Not a Property of All Living Things: Eats other organisms to gain energy, Composed of many cells, Requires another individual to reproduce, Individuals evolve over time.
Properties shared by all living things include reproduction, energy processing, cellular organization, evolutionary adaptation, and response to the environment. Living entities exhibit complex yet well-ordered structures, ensuring functionality.
On the contrary, not all living things consume other organisms for energy, have multicellular structures, or necessitate another individual for reproduction. While populations evolve collectively, individual organisms may or may not evolve over time.
Recognizing these characteristics aids in defining life, distinguishing living from non-living entities, and appreciating the diverse ways in which living organisms interact with and adapt to their environments.
