I experience this when we run or walk and we feel out of breath, we tend to breath faster, catching for air so we can take back the oxygen that we have been released. Another example is when we are cold, we tend to shiver and when it's hot, we are sweating to regulate or body temperature. Lastly, when we are thirsty, our body (mind) will send us signal to drink water because when you body loses water, the amount of water in you blood goes down.

One characteristic of life that I chose is response to stimuli. This means that living things can react to changes in their environment. I notice this in my daily routine when I wake up in the morning. For example, when my alarm rings, I immediately open my eyes and get out of bed. The sound of the alarm is the stimulus, and my action of waking up is the response.

This characteristic talks about an organism's response to their surroundings them. Basically, it is about the reaction and it can be shown externally or internally. For instance is when I see my scores in GenMath. I'd react like this and my heart will beat fast(example of movement) out of fear of what my parent's reaction will be.

All life beings or living things have the characteristics of growth and development. Growth means the increase or change in size and height. While, development means the maturity of a human being including the face or body features and our mindset. Not only humans can undergo this stage but also the animals and the plants as they are as well a living thing in this world.

I observe metabolism in my daily life when I eat meals and later feel energized to do activities like studying, walking, or playing. It also shows when I feel hungry after using up energy, which means my body has already used the food I ate.To be honest I like eating any food im not a picky eater I can eat a lot of rice that means i have a lot of energy to do any task

Different species on Earth experiences growth in their physical body, this occurs because of the maturity and development of oneself. For instance, our subdivision is full of cats and plants everywhere. You can see some baby kitten and watch them grow in a span of a 1 year, different kind of trees and plants also matures with the help of the rain, sunlight, and fertilizer.

This shows that even animals and plants can experience maturity over time. Being one of the main characteristic of Life on Earth

We all know that all kinds of living things really does grow, they grow at their own pace. As they grow, they develop some characteristics and maturity over time for example, teenage life where people mostly experiences growth and development, plants and animals too. The picture perfectly demonstrate the growth of a certain plant.

# data[].attributes.body
Every morning, I eat rice and eggs (and other breakfast foods) before I go to school. This shows metabolism because my body digest food and turns it into energy that i use for walking, studying, and doing activities. All living things need metabolism to maintain life process. ^^

I do believe that Growth & Development are all natural to us and we can’t deny the fact that most of us will experience this. I observed this characteristic of life when I was 3 years old — i look small and as i grow older I became mature enough. My body started to look more mature. But more importantly, I matured in the way I think and act. This showed that I was not just growing in height but also developing as a person.

One characteristic of life that i chose is response to stimuli. This means that living things can react to changes in their environment. I notice this in my daily routine when i wake up in the morning. For example, when my alarm rings, i immediately open my eyes and get out of bed. The sound of the alarm is the stimulus, and my action of waking up is the response.

Another example is when i accidentally touch something hot, like a cup of coffee. i quickly pull my hand away because my body senses the heat and reacts to protect me from being hurt. This shows how living things respond to what is happening around them.

These examples prove that humans respond to different kinds of stimuli every day. It helps us survive and adapt to situations, whether small or big. Without this characteristic, it would be hard to live because we wouldn’t notice or react to the changes in our surroundings.

Metabolism is a set of chemical processes that convert food and water into energy. This energy is what we use in our daily tasks.

One example of this occurrence is you and me. The food we eat and the drinks we consume all undergo these processes to give us the energy. It is a characteristic of life, therefore all living things have these. Animals also undergo these processes, similar to humans.

But how about plants? Photosynthesis is also an example, where light energy, carbon dioxide and minerals are converted for the plant's growth and survival.

This is the characteristic I chose because it's very common for us humans to react to things or in a situation. For example, Mayor Along announced the cancellations of classes yesterday. Students felt an urge to respond with shock and happiness, or when we are startled, we tend to react. This is what it means to respond to stimuli.

Ive noticed that for my mother's indoor house plants, since they don't get much sunlight they wilt as they cent perform photosynthesis. When you put them out in the sun, they start to perk up again and look somewhat alive. It's the same with me in most cases when i don't go outside for a week and suddenly feel sleep and not energized enough.

The characteristic of like I chose is metabolism, this is the process of our body turning something we intake into energy while also removing waste. Like for example Lebron James eats food to make him more energized to play more basketball. This doesn't just apply with food but also with oxygen, medicine, etc. This helps us stay alive and keep our body working everyday

I chose the Growth, because not only me experiencing Growth or human growth. Life can have the ability to improve and develop like from plants, animals, or even humans changes or increases their sizes time by time. Growth can have their own stages of life.

# data[].attributes.body
this is the characteristic of life that sticks mostly to me cause every life shows a new growth and development whether it's bad or good. It's an evolution of how life adapts and conquers every part of our planet, its diverse and wide variety of fascinating information and WONDERFUL to watch how even us with every offspring, we grow and adapt with every problem we encounter here on earth. its the POWER we hold while we all live on earth big or small

As I grow up, I observe that my body change. Particularly, my overall height. I become taller and taller like before I was 150 cm tall and now I am 161 cm. Through puberty, my body develops. I observe that I have menstraution and some part of my body grow bigger. Also, my perspective and way of thinking change. This shows the characteristic of growth and development, it involves changes and development through our well-being like physically and mentally.

# data[].attributes.body
I chose growth as a characteristic of life because I can see it in how my body has changed over the years. When I was younger, I was much shorter and smaller, but as I grew older, my height increased and my body became stronger. I notice it in simple things, like outgrowing my old clothes or seeing how my muscles feel firmer compared to before. For me, this shows how growth is a natural part of life that I personally experience every day.

# data[].attributes.body
The characteristic I chose is growth because everyone has experience this in throughout their lives. An example of this occurs when a person is experiencing their teenage years or what we call the puberty.

# data[].attributes.body
I chose growth as a characteristic of life because it’s something we can easily see in both plants and animals. Growth shows that living things change over time, starting small and becoming bigger or more developed. It proves that life is active and always moving forward, not just staying the same.

Among the 7 characteristics of life, response to stimuli is one of the most evident characteristics that present life. When an organism like animals, plants and even humans, experience harsh condition, they tend to react immediately. That information processes through their brain. This means organisms can sense changes to their environment and react in ways they can survive. This shows the ability for an organism to react to the changes to their environment

Everyday, I notice how children grow taller and stronger as time passes. I, myself experience this.

This shows the characteristic of growth because their bodies are continuously developing. Growth is one of the most visible signs of life, proving that living things don’t remain the same but change and develop as they age. Growth is the proof that we're alive.

We observe it in our everyday lives when we eat meals like 1pc chicken joy with jolly spaghetti or burger steak with fries, which are broken down to give us the strength to walk, play, or study. During exercise, our heartbeat and breathing increase because our body burns fuel faster to supply more energy. Even when we are resting or sleeping, metabolism continues by repairing tissues and keeping our vital functions running. This shows that metabolism is always active and essential for life.

When we wake up in the morning, we often think about food, and our stomach starts to rumble. This is a sign that our body is beginning a process that sends signals to our brain, telling us we need to eat. As we eat, our digestive system starts breaking the food down, turning the meal into nutrients our body can use. For example, eating fiber-rich foods in the morning helps us feel full and provides energy that can benefit us throughout the whole day.

Response to Stimuli

One characteristic of life is response to stimuli. I observe this in my daily routine whenever I accidentally touch something hot, like a kettle or a cup of coffee. My hand immediately pulls away without me even thinking about it. This reaction shows how living things respond to changes in their environment to protect themselves from harm. It demonstrates the characteristic of response to stimuli because my body senses the heat and reacts instantly.

# data[].attributes.body
The characteristic of life that I chose is homeostasis. As someone who cane from a tropical country, it's natural that I'm always exposed to the harsh temperature such as heat. Like when I walk under the sun or engage in physical activity, my body begins to produce sweat. This sweat will evaporate from my skin surface helps release excess heat, preventing my body from overheating. This mechanism of our body which is called homeostatis is simple yet vital process ensures that my internal temperature remains within a safe and stable range, even when the environment around me is constantly changing. It depicts how our body continuously works to keep our system balanced and functioning properly.

# data[].attributes.body
Growth and development are evident in life because as long as we're alive, we are constantly maturing. We change based on our size, weight, height, and these are not permanent because they change overtime or yearly, initiating a new milestone of someone who is alive. This process is guided by genetic information and involves cell division, cell differentiation, and cell specialization, leading to increased complexity and functionality, and ultimately preparing the organism to survive and thrive in its environment.

I chose metabolism since it is the characteristic that I observe on all the living creatures on earth. We all know that we need to fuel our bodies with energy, that is why we eat foods to gain nutrients and vitamins. It is also the way other creatures like animals do so that they can be energized to do their daily task just like us humans.

This is the characteristic I chose because I believe it is the most significant aspect of life that benefits both animals and humans alike, especially in terms of survival. For example, I recently changed schools, so I obviously have to learn the rules and regulations in order to get used to the new environment.

Response to stimuli is the ability of living things to react to changes in their surroundings. For example, when we touch something hot, we quickly move our hand away, or when someone calls our name, we turn our head. Even simple actions like closing our eyes when the light is too bright are responses to stimuli. This characteristic is important because it helps living things survive and adjust to their environment.

Humans, plants and even animals has their own growth. Growth is a process where plants, animals, and humans increased: size and physical appearance. In my daily scenario, I have always witnessed our growing plants from our backyard. From seeds to developing stems and leaves, It's also visible that plants grows with blooming petals and flowers. I have also watched my brother, nephew growing each passing day. This scenario has been proved with plenty of evidence in humans, we can easily identify the change from their physical appearance. Growth is an example of characteristics of life. It is the change in physical appearance of a living organism. It can be observed in days, months, and years.

According to Cleverland Clinic, metabolism encompasses all the processes within your cells that keep your body functioning like it should. Metabolism constantly provides your body with energy for essential body functions like breathing and digestion.

I, as a student, has observed in my daily life that my metabolism has decreased rapidly. I assume that it is due to my poor consumption of food, that I adhere in my daily life.

Science has taught me well, that what I consume, is what keeps me alive and functioning. Therefore, we, should take care of our health—as it serves a huge impact on how we function as a living thing.

During my daily walks around the neighborhood, I have observed the life cycle of a butterfly firsthand. I noticed small butterfly eggs attached to the leaves of garden plants. Over time, these eggs hatched into caterpillars, which I saw feeding on the leaves and gradually increasing in size. The caterpillars periodically shed their skin as they grew. After reaching a certain stage, one caterpillar formed a chrysalis and remained dormant for several days. Eventually, an adult butterfly emerged from the chrysalis, unfolded its wings, and flew away. Observing this sequence of events in my everyday routine clearly demonstrates the characteristic of growth, showing how living organisms develop and change over time.

# data[].attributes.body
In our everyday life, we consume food not just to eat but also to obtain energy from it. This is where metabolism comes in. Metabolism is our body's natural process for converting food and drink into the energy it needs to function. Bascially, we need energy to do daily tasks and we obtain it through the food we consume. I chose Metabolism as I believe it is one of the most important characteristics of life that we all experience daily and at all times. Not just as a factor in our lives but also because it provides us the necessary energy we need to function. Without energy, we can't simply go on in our daily lives, especially not on an empty stomach. Therefore, this goes to show how metabolism greatly affects us humans and how imporant it is for our daily lives.

One of characteristics of life that I chose is Growth. All life being living things have characteristics of growth means the cell, referring to an increase in physical size, weight or cell count Development is a qualitative and continuous process involving functional cognitive, emotional, and social changes and the acquisition of new abilities skill and understanding Growth stops at maturity, but development continues throughout the lifespan, with both processes influenced by genetics, nutrition, and the environment.
