Characteristics of Life

What is an organism?
The statements, "all cells come from preexisting cells" and "all living things are made from cells" are part of this theory.
What is cell theory?
What are proteins?
The modern classification system is based on this.
What is physical characteristics?
The material inside a cell.
What is cytoplasm?
Plants growing towards light is an example of this characteristic of life.
What is responding to the environment?
An organism can be made of only one cell and is referred to as this.
What is unicellular?
Cell membranes are made of this one of the 4 molecules of life.
What are lipids?
These are used for accuracy when classifying organisms.
What are scientific names?
When writing a scientific name, this part must be capitalized.
What is genus?
Fertilization, growth, reproduction, and death are all part of this characteristic of life.

What are carbohydrates?
Evolutionists assume that two organisms that are classified in the same group evolved from this.
What is a common ancestor?
