Characteristics of organisms demonstrated:

1. Organisms obtain food and respire

2. organisms detect and respond to stimuli, and move

Description:

From the photo, we can see a chameleon preying upon an insect on a tree branch. Also, we can see that the chameleon’s colour somewhat matches the branch’s colour as well. These features of a chameleon shows the characteristics of organisms obtaining food and respire along with characteristics of organisms detecting, responding to stimuli and moving. The prey showing up activates the chameleon’s movement and therefore it tries to get the insect, while the color of the chameleon appears similar to the branch as a protective shield to blend in with its surroundings in case a predator strikes.

Description:

This photo from BBC News shows new shoots growing from a historical tree branch that was cut by two men. It means the plant can regrow parts that were damaged or removed. Plants do this by using special cells that can change and grow into new shoots and roots, helping them heal and keep growing. Showing signs of regeneration.

“Plants can regrow lost tissues through activating specialized cells in meristems, which divide and differentiate to form new shoots and roots.” - found on https://journals.biologists.com/dev/article/143/9/1442/47902/Plant-regeneration-cellular-origins-and-molecular

Characteristic organisms demonstrated: intake of nutrition for energy, growth and development

Description: In this photo, we can see a boy eating his food which is a balanced meal of meat, vegetables and fruits. This shows the characteristic of organism taking in materials for growth and providing energy for daily activities.

Description: This photo shows the Mimosa Pudica. It is a plant that folds up its delicate leaves when brushed, poked or shaken, a defense mechanism evolved to startle herbivores. It has the characteristics of organisms of detecting and responding to stimuli. The plant has irritability. It detects movement (the stimuli) and responds to it by folding up its leaves (responds).

Organisms can detect and respond to stimuli causing a movement.

Description:

The woman in the picture is seen running on a race track.For example,in races they use object to tell the competitors to start running.Once the object goes off,the woman will react to it and respond to the stimuli causing her to run as in movement.

In this photo, the man on the left with a grey jacket on is putting his hand on the man on the right, which is a sign of movement between the 2 human beings. Another organism is that both men are responding to each other with gestures and facial expressions like smiling, which is a sign of stimuli between the 2.

Description:

This is a photo of bacteria, a unicellular organism. This photo show how bacteria can reproduce its kind and move on its own. Bacteria reproduce by dividing into two or more which grows later on. Bacteria can also move on its own with the aid of its flagella. These characteristics classify bacteria as an organism.

Description:

From the picture, the sunflower are all facing towards the sun. The sunflower has special parts in its stem and leaves that can sense where the sunlight is coming from. They face towards the sun so that they can absorb enough sunlight (food) to grow taller. So, the plant senses the light and moves because of it. This specific reaction is called heliotropism.

Characteristics of organisms demonstrated: Reproducing and growing

Description: This photo shows Archaea, which are single-celled microorganisms with structure similar to bacteria. It exemplifies the characteristics of organisms reproducing and growing. Archaea grow by simple cell division and reproduce mainly through binary fission, a process where one cell splits into two identical cells after copying its DNA.

Characteristics:

Fungi secrete enzymes to break down food externally before absorbing the digested nutrients.

Their cells also contain membrane-bound organelles and clearly defined nuclei.

Description:

This photo shows the Armillaria ostoyae, also known as the honey mushroom.

Description: The photo above shows a girl sleeping, and human must be breathing all the time. In which is releasing energy through respiration, breathing in oxygen and releasing carbon, which can be processed all the time, even when we are sleeping.

Description:The individuals use their muscles to exert force while digging and cultivating the land. Strong arm and leg muscles enable them to lift tools, push through soil, and maintain endurance during their work.

This sunflower shows responsiveness by turning to face the sun. This movement is called phototropism. It helps the plant to absorb maximum sunlight, which it needs to make its own food through photosynthesis. This is a key characteristic of living things.

Characteristics of organisms demonstrated: Obtain food and respire

Description: This photo shows a plant under the sunlight. It needs water, carbon dioxide, and sunlight to grow. This process is called photosynthesis, where the plant makes its own food and produces oxygen and glucose, which help it survive.

stimuli + movement

Description:

In the photo, the man and woman are dapping each other up and smiling. This shows the movement and interaction between the two people. Both detect the movement of the each other, and responds with smiles and gestures.

This organism (animals) reproduce sexually, obtains food and respire by feeding. They can also detect and respond to stimuli in their environment, mainly jungles or somewhere with many trees and is quite humid. They can move and make noise. Gibbons also erect. I think gibbons have a nice life cycle and are very cute 🤤

Just like most mammals, we need to eat both meat and vegetables. We also need a sufficient amount of water everyday. This was we can have great nutrition and energy.

We breathe with our lungs and take in oxygen and give out carbon dioxide.

Humans reproduce sexually, with a man and a woman. Just like animals. Since we are mammals, we give birth and do not lay eggs.

The human body is complex, but we share many common traits with other mammals, especially monkeys since we are presumed to be their descendants.

Organisms can detect and respond to stimuli. This is irritability. This causes a respond.

Description:

The black bear is running,it eyes its prey and starts running. This happens cause the bear detects it prey and once it does, it will respond to the stimuli and it will cause a respond, running towards its prey.
