Answer:
All organisms need food for the energy required to live and grow. They all excrete (get rid of) waste products, and detect changes in their surroundings and respond to them. All living organisms follow a LIFE CYCLE of growth and development, reproduction, and death. One thing all living things have in common is that all living things have cells, performing the functions necessary for an organism to survive in its environment; even the most primitive of life forms, bacteria, consists of a single cell. All living things also use energy, grow and reproduce.
