Characteristics of Living Organisms
- Movement: actions causing a change in position or location of an organism.
- Respiration: chemical reactions in cells that break down nutrient molecules to release energy.
- Sensitivity: ability to sense stimuli (internal or external) and make appropriate responses.
- Growth: permanent increase in size and dry mass, due to increase in cell number, cell size, or both.
- Reproduction: increase in number of the same kind of organism.
- Excretion: removal of toxic substances, waste products of metabolism, and excess substances.
- Nutrition: intake of materials for energy, growth, and development (e.g., plants need light, CO₂, water, mineral ions; animals need organic compounds, ions, water).
- Mnemonic: MRS GREN (Movement, Respiration, Sensitivity, Growth, Reproduction, Excretion, Nutrition).
