All living organisms share several key characteristics or functions: order, sensitivity or response to the environment, reproduction, growth and development, regulation, homeostasis, and energy processing. When viewed together, these characteristics serve to define life.

Afrin Barshani 3 years, 8 months ago

The characteristics of living organisms are: (i) Growth and development- Young organisms (plants and animals) grow and develop into adults. (ii) Movement- Animals exhibit a wide range of movements. (iii) Reproduction- The biological process by which new organisms (offsprings) are produced from organisms of the same kind. (iv) Respiration- Oxygen is used for the oxidation of food and carbon dioxide is produced. (v) Responsiveness- All living organisms respond to light, heat and the changes around them. (vi) Excretion- The process by which metabolic wastes and other non-useful, toxic wastes such as faeces are eliminated from an organism is called excretion. Plants also remove their wastes. (vii) Adaptation- Changes in the structure or behaviour of an organism that allow it to survive in a particular habitat are called adaptations.
