The characteristics essential for life of a cell


Cell:

  • organism have everything they need to be self sufficient.
  • in multicelular organism, specialization until some cells do certain things.

Organization:
  • Both molecular and cellular organization.
  • Living things must be able to organize simple substances into complex ones.
  • Living cells organize living things at different levels: 





  • Tissue:a group of cells that perform a common function.

  • Organs:a group of tissues that perform a common function.

  • Organs system: a group of organs that perform a common function

  • Organism: any complete living thing.








Energy use:

  • living things take energy and used for maintenance and growth.

  • living things used their energy in a specific amount and way to get their need in order to equally distributed it.

  • sunlight is converted to pothosynthesis that is  main way of energy source.


Homeostasis:


  • Living things will make changes in response of a stimulus in their environment.

  • A behavior is a complex set of  responses.
Grow:

  • cell division: the orderly formation of cells.

  • cell enlargement:the increase in size in a cell. Cells grow to a certain size and then divide.

  • An organism gets larger as its number of cell increases.
Reproduction:


  • Reproduction is not essential for the survival of an individual organism, but must occur for a species to survive.

  • All living things reproduce in one of the following ways:

  • Asexual reproduction-producing offspring with out the used of gametes.

  • sexual reproduction:producing offspring with the joining of sex cells.
