Answers
⚫Living organisms exhibit undisputable signs of life – such as growth, reproduction and metabolism.
⚫ Higher organisms such as humans showcase consciousness – where we become aware of our surroundings.
⚫ Similarly, consciousness may be observable in many lower forms of life such as bacteria and protozoa.
⚫ When these organisms engulf food or react to their environment, it is done primarily to ensure survival.
1 - Made up of cells
Cells are the basic unit of life. Living things are composed of cells.
2- Cellular Organization

3 - The Chemicals of Life
Living cells are composed of similar chemicals, water, carbohydrates, proteins, lipids, and nucleic acids.
4 - Energy Use
Living things use energy to repair and function -- your brain cells are using energy right now.

Living things grow from the energy found in organic molecules and develop, becoming more complex over time.
7 - Reproduction
Living things duplicate their genetic code and produce offspring.
