Cell Structure

Characteristics of Life

Characteristics of Life

1. Respond to changes in the environment

2. Maintain homeostasis

3. Exhibit metabolism

4. Reproduce

5. Adapt to their niche/biological home

Characteristics of a Virus

• No true nucleus

• Cannot reproduce on their own

• Consists of a protein coat and a core of nucleic acid

  considered Non-living

Characteristics of a Prokaryote

• No true nucleus

• Ribosomes are the only organelle they possess

Characteristics of a Eukaryote

• Contain mitochondria for Cellular Respiration

• Characterized for having a nucleus

• Most ribosomes are located on the rough ER
