Needs of Living Things
![Page 2: Needs of Living Things](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022081517/56816225550346895dd255c8/html5/thumbnails/2.jpg)
Characteristics of Living Things
• Cellular Organization• Uses energy• Contain Similar
Chemicals• Respond to surroundings• Reproduce• Grow and Develop
![Page 3: Needs of Living Things](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022081517/56816225550346895dd255c8/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
Cellular Organization• All living things are
composed of cells• Unicellular – single-
celled organisms (ex. Bacteria)
![Page 4: Needs of Living Things](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022081517/56816225550346895dd255c8/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
Cellular Organization• Multicellular –
organisms that are composed of more than one cell (ex. Humans)

Chemicals of Life• All living things
contain similar chemicals
• The most abundant chemical in cells is water

Use Energy• All living things use
energy to do the things that living things must do (ex. Grow and repair injured parts)

Growth and Development• Growth is the process of
becoming larger• Development is the
process of change that occurs during an organism’s life to produce a more complex organism
![Page 8: Needs of Living Things](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022081517/56816225550346895dd255c8/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
• A Response is when a living thing reacts to stimuli
• Stimuli is a change in your surroundings
Response
![Page 9: Needs of Living Things](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022081517/56816225550346895dd255c8/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Response• All living things
respond to stimuli• Living things respond
in different ways• The ways in which
living things respond is called behavior

• Migration to warm places in a response
• Hibernation (sleeping) through the winter months is another example
Response

Reproduction• Reproduction is the
process by which living things produce new organisms (offspring) like themselves.

Spontaneous Generation
• Spontaneous Generation is the idea that living things come from nonliving things.
• Francesco Redi disproved this theory.

What Do Living Things Need?
• Water• Energy• Living Space• Stable Internal
Conditions
![Page 14: Needs of Living Things](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022081517/56816225550346895dd255c8/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Water
• Plants & animals cannot survive without water
![Page 15: Needs of Living Things](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022081517/56816225550346895dd255c8/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Water• Water is used to
transport stuff through living things
• Water is necessary to carry out chemical changes in living things
![Page 16: Needs of Living Things](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022081517/56816225550346895dd255c8/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Energy• All energy comes from
the sun • Autotrophs (organisms
that make their own food) get their energy directly from the sun
![Page 17: Needs of Living Things](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022081517/56816225550346895dd255c8/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Energy• Heterotrophs
(organisms that cannot make their own food) get their energy indirectly from the sun
![Page 18: Needs of Living Things](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022081517/56816225550346895dd255c8/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Living Space• Living space includes
air, water, sunlight, food, and shelter
• Organisms need living space to survive
• Organisms compete for living space
![Page 19: Needs of Living Things](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022081517/56816225550346895dd255c8/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
• Proper temperature is necessary for living things to carry out life processes
• Many living things would die without homeostasis
Stable Internal Conditions
![Page 20: Needs of Living Things](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022081517/56816225550346895dd255c8/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Stable Internal Conditions
• Homeostasis is the ability of a living thing to keep conditions inside its body constant
![Page 21: Needs of Living Things](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022081517/56816225550346895dd255c8/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Stable Internal Conditions
• Homeostasis keeps life processes working even if external temperature changes
![Page 22: Needs of Living Things](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022081517/56816225550346895dd255c8/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
What are Life Processes?
• Life processes are the things an organism must do to stay alive
• Living things carry out all life processes
![Page 23: Needs of Living Things](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022081517/56816225550346895dd255c8/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Life Processes• Ingestion• Digestion• Respiration• Excretion
![Page 24: Needs of Living Things](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022081517/56816225550346895dd255c8/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Life Processes• Ingestion
–taking in food• Digestion
–breaking food down so it can be used
![Page 25: Needs of Living Things](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022081517/56816225550346895dd255c8/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Life Processes• Respiration
–using oxygen to get energy from food
• Excretion–getting rid of waste
