Question

All living organisms, from the smallest bacterium to the largest whale, share certain characteristics of life. For example, all living things are made of cells and they must reproduce to make the next generation. Without these characteristics, there is no life.Select the characteristics of life. Choose ALL that apply.responds to stimulimovementability to grow and changebreathingmaintains homeostasisobtain and use energy

Answer 1

There are different characteristics that all living organisms share. Among them are:

1. Respond to their environment (respond to stimuli).

2. Growth and Change ( ability to grow and change).

3. Reproduction.

4. Maintain Homeostasis.

5. Have Complex Chemistry (this includes the ability to obtain and use energy (metabolism, catabolism).

6. Built of Cells.

now, movement is not a specific characteristic that defines life since, for example, a cat moves, but so does a car and a car is not a living organism. On the other hand, there are anaerobic and aerobic organisms, so "breathing" is not a characteristic that defines life completely.

So that, we can conclude that the correct answer is:

respond to stimuli

ability to grow and change

maintains homeostasis

Obtain and use energy (Biochemical reactions).
