In our Biology class we learned the characteristics of living things.


In the first picture we can see a characteristic of living things:
Nutrition:Taking in nutrients which are organic substances and mineral ions, containing raw materials and energy for growth and tissue repair, absorbing and assimilating them.
and in the second picture we can see two characteristics:
Growth: which is the permanent increase in size and dry mass by an increase in number of cells, cell size, or both.
Reproduction:Progresses that make more of the same kind of organism.
Other characteristics that are not in the pictures are :
Excretion:Removal from organisms of toxic materials, the waste products of metabolism and substances in excess.
Sensitivity, the ability to detect and response.
Movement:An action by an organism or part of an organism that changes position or place.
Respiration:Chemical reactions that break down nutrient molecules in living cells to release energy.
