I think that all living things should have some cells. This is probably one of the most important characteristics on the list because almost all of the things on earth that are classified as living, have either one cell, or very many cells.

This is an important characteristic of life because living things don't have very simple body systems. Most of them connect to other systems in their bodies through different organs and other things that help them survive each day.

Homeostasis is the process of keeping a stable inner core or system. This definitely has to be a characteristic of life because all things have to keep themselves healthy for the environment that they are in.

Reproduction is the process by which living things give rise to offspring. Reproducing could be very complicated, or it could be very simple in living things.

If you are living, you must become bigger at some point in your life. It is very rare to stay the same size through out all of your life. Your characteristics must develop too. I don't think that you can go through your entire life with the exact same look you had before when you were created. I think that there must be some type of change.  Just like how a tadpole goes from a tiny fish like creature, and then they turn into a big frog, that usually looks nothing like a fish.

I think that if you think you living, or if you are living, you must respond to the area around you. Most of the living things that do respond the their environment have a quick adaptation to what they feel around them. Like when ducks are still around the big bodies of water in the fall time. They start to feel the air temperature change, and they migrate south.
