Metabolism

This characteristic of life allows organisms to detect and respond to changes in their environment.

Response to stimuli

This characteristic of life allows organisms to maintain a stable internal environment despite changes in the external environment.

Homeostatic

This characteristic of life allows organisms to increase in size and undergo changes in structure and function over time.

Growth and Development

This characteristic of life allows populations of organisms to undergo changes over generations, leading to the development of new traits.

ability to evolve

This type of asexual reproduction produces a new individual from a small outgrowth or bud on the parent organism

Prototropism

These organisms maintain their body temperature by allowing it to fluctuate with the temperature of their environment.

Thermoconformers

These organisms generate their own body heat internally but have a body temperature that varies with the environment.

Endothermic Poikilotherms

These organisms rely on external sources for body heat and have a body temperature that changes with the environment.
