Properties of Living Things
• Are organized, and are made of one or more cells (Cellular Organization)
• Maintain stable internal conditions (Homeostasis)
•Are capable of Reproduction
•Exhibit Growth and development
•Respond to their environment(Responsiveness)

Properties of living things (continued)
• Pass traits to offspring (Heredity)
• Use energy. Metabolism is the sum of all chemical reactions carried out in an organism.
