The characteristics of living organisms

Answer to Problem 1RCC

Solution:

Living organisms share the common characteristics such as growth and development, reproduction, energy usage, and many others.

Explanation of Solution

Living organisms depicts some specific features that differentiate them from the non living things. The characteristics are given below:

• Every living organism shows the hierarchy of organization that range from most simple (cells) to highly complex (biosphere) one.

• The living organisms obtain energy and materials from their environment.

• All living organisms contain genetic information in the form of DNA or RNA.

• Every living organism shows the ability to adapt to their surroundings.

• Living organisms show reproduction which can be of sexual or asexual type.
