Characteristics of Life
must meet ALL to be living
1. Made up of 1 or more cells
2. Metabolism
3. Excretion / Homeostasis
4. Movement
5. Contains Genetic material
6. Reproduction
7. Growth and Development
8. Response to Environment / Adapt
9. Evolve

Scientists use characteristics specific for each Kingdom to organize organisms.

Using this organization, you should be able to make some generalizations based
on what you know about taxonomic levels. In particular, the more levels of
classification that two or more organisms share, the more similar they will
be.

3 Domains – copy this not in table
 Archaea and Eubacteria
 unicellular
 prokaryotes
(no nucleus)
 no membrane-bound organelles

 Eukarya
 more complex
 most are multicellular, some unicellular
 eukaryotes (have nucleus)
 membrane-bound organelles

Many bacteria are important environmentally and commercially.

1 Circular Some are autotrophic but most are heterotrophs

chromosome,
no nucleus
 Protista
 Have DNA inside
nucleus
 All live in marine or Fungus like protists (absorbtive heterotrophs)
freshwater
 Most are unicellular
 Few are multicellular
 Some are autotrophic, Animal like protists (heterotrophic)

others are
heterotrophic
 3 groups
Plant like protists (autotrophic,
 Animal-like cellulose cell walls)
 Plant-like
 Fungus-like
Fungus
 DNA inside nucleus
 Multicellular, except yeast
 Absorptive heterotrophs
(digest food outside their
body & then absorb it)
 Cell walls made of chitin
 Found in marine,
freshwater and terrestrial
environments
 Plantae
 DNA inside nucleus
 All Multicellular
 All Autotrophic
 use sunlight to make
glucose – Photosynthesis
 Cell walls made of cellulose
Animalia
 DNA inside nucleus
 Multicellular
 No cell walls
 Ingestive
heterotrophs
(consume food &
digest it inside their
bodies)
 Feed on plants or
animals
Viruses- copy this not in table
 Viruses are much smaller than
bacteria.
 They are not an ancient life form.
 Viruses are virulent.
 They cause diseases like the flu
or chicken pox.
 Most biologists agree that
viruses are not alive.
 Viruses do not move, grow, or
carry out respiration.
 Viruses need living host cells to
reproduce.
