Transcription

1 Period 2 Made of cells (animal & plant) Interact with stimuli Adapt to environment Reproduce Need to conduct homeostasis Need to eat/need energy Has tissues, organs, blood Growth and development Excretion Have senses Definite lifecycle Exhibit evolution over time due to mutation and natural selection Metabolism Don t have control over actions Do not react to movement Cannot use all five senses They don t have genetic material Could have been a part of a living thing Have a crystalline structure (sodium chloride, snowflake, etc.) Do not acquire and use energy Can t move by themselves Have the absence of irritability Examples: rock, pencil, brick, jam, potato chip, book, dirt, letter e Examples: Fox, human, cow, bacteria, dog, cat, tree, flower, fruit, potato, Logan

2 Period 3 Made up of cells (plants, animals, etc.) Obtain and use energy Have to breathe Reproduce and Die Grow and develop Can adapt to new environments Excrete waste Eat/Need energy Move Has internal and outer movement Need sunlight Matter Aren t capable of thinking Don t grow or develop Don t need food, water, air Don t have cells Show no movement Matter Examples: rock, paper, scissors, oil, books, wood, tape, pencils, car, school Examples: Plants, humans, trees, animals, bacteria, worm, insects/bugs, grass

3 Period 4 Undergo metabolism Respond to stimuli and growth Need to eat/need energy Reproduce and evolve Made of cells Maintain homeostasis Will experience life and death Emotions Can get sick/get diseases Need energy Have organs, tissues, and organ systems Sensitivity Reproduction Have self-sustaining processes Do not need food and respiration DO not grow, move, reproduce Absence of protoplasm Don t have organs Grow by accumulation (crystals) Don t get sick Can t define their shapes and size moved by force Non-sensitivity Example: air, rocks, earth/soil, water, furniture, car, rubber ducky, book, stuffed animal Examples: trees, insects/bugs, people/humans, animals, plants, bacteria

4 Period 5 Exhibit characteristics such as growth Obtain and use energy Reproduce Take in oxygen Sensitive Respond and adapt to their environment Cell division Respirate Have DNA & RNA Have a lifespan Made of cells Excretions (removing waste) Example: Plants, Humans, Animals, Bacteria Can t respond to stimuli or respond and adapt to their environment No movement Don t evolve or change unless there is a chemical reaction such as burning Do not have DNA Don t take in nutrients Lack protoplasm Some nonliving things can come from living things Don t reproduce Don t breathe Can t grow Do not undergo homeostasis Examples: Paper, electronics, books, automobiles, potato chip, plastic, rock

5 Period 0 Can grow and reproduce Can breathe/respirate Feeding Adapt to their environment Excrete (get rid of waste) Made up of cells unicellular organisms and multicellular organisms Have a limited lifespan Use energy/require energy Have self-sustaining processes Must have nutrients/energy to survive Examples: human, plants, animals, pandas, bacteria, fungi, potato, strawberry Some can be manmade Doesn t go through evolution Don t grow, reproduce, or die They occur under any external influence (forces) Show one or two of the seven characteristics of living things (but not all) No metabolic activities are possible No respiratory actions Do not respond to stimuli or require energy Can t think for themselves Examples: water, rock, hat, computer screen, building, paper, toilet, shoe, pen, potato chip, jam

6 Period 1 Animate Breathing All senses Reproduce Predator/Prey Lifespan Growth Have a functional metabolism Made of cells Adapt and change Need nutrients/energy Have a habitat Contains protoplasm Examples: Bacteria, animals, people, llama, plants, sea life, potato, strawberry Does not need air Doesn t move Inanimate Can t get diseases or sick Doesn t use energy No emotions Can t die Doesn t eat/require energy No organs Can t reproduce Don t have a life Made of atoms/matter No family Examples: rock, golf car/automobiles, book, technology, water, paper, sun, potato chip, jam
