characteristics of a living organism:
1. cell (basic unit)
2. reproduce
3. all based on universal genetic code DNA
4. grow and develop
5. obtain and use materials and energy (metabolism)
6. respond to a stimulus (environment)
7. maintain a stable internal environment (homeostasis)
8. evolve: that's how they change over time. only AS A GROUP. an individual cannot evolve. should only change in the entire species

What are the 3 basic functions of living things?
the three functions (main functions) of living things are: 1. Nutrition: all living things have ways of taking in the substances they need to grow and survive. 2.
