Characteristics of Living Things
All living things are made up of these "basic units of life".
What are cells?
the genetic material all living things contain
What is DNA
The system used for grouping organisms into groups (known as taxons) was developed by this Swedish scientist.
Who was Carl Linneaus?
This Kingdom is characterized as multicellular, cells with no cell walls, cannot make their own food, require water and oxygen to survive, and reproduce sexually.
What is Kingdom Animalia. (Animal Kingdom)
The term for an Organism made of many cells
What is Multicellular
All living things obtain energy from this main energy source.
What is the sun?
Flinching, or moving out of the way is someone throws something at you demonstrates this characteristic of living things
What is Responding to stimulus/ Responding to surroundings
The system of assigning organisms a scientific name that consists of two parts (the genus and the species) is called this.
What is binomial nomenclature?
This Kingdom includes organisms such as insects, birds, and mammals.
What is the Kingdom Animalia. (Animal Kingdom)
The word for any living thing
What is Organism
(True or False) All living things must have the ability to walk, swim, or fly.
False

What is Using Energy
This is the number of domains the current classification system divides ALL living things into.
What is three domains?
This Kingdom includes organisms who are multicellular and whose cells contain chloroplasts which enable the organism to make their own food.
What is the Kingdom Plantae? (The Plant Kingdom)
An organism with cells that have a nucleus
What is Eukaryote

What is Multicellular organisms are made of many cells while unicellular organisms are made of only one cell.
We need to maintain this state inside our bodies. What is it called?
What is Homeostasis
The process of grouping things based on their similarities
What is Classification
These are the THREE reasons why taxonomy is important.
1. It helps keep track of all living thigs. 2. It makes it easier to study all living things. 3. It helps assign organisms a universally accepted scientific name.
The first word in an organisms scientific name
What is Genus
