CHARACTERISTICS OF LIFE - Coggle Diagram

- - - - GROWTH
        
        increase in size and biomass
        
        use of materials of the surroundings that allow the organism to synthesize its own molecules during the cycle of life
      - REPRODUCTION
        
        allows species to perpetuate in time and generate offspring
        
        sexual
        
        asexual
        
        IRRITABILITY
        
        capacity to respond to presented stimulus
        
        MOVEMENT
        
        changing place or position
        
        facilitates food obtention, transportation and reproduction
  - - - cell is the smallest structural unit
        
        unicellular organisms
        
        multicellular organisms
        
        different types with different functions
        
        All life processes are carried out in the cell
    - - EVOLUTION
        
        changes in characteristics of species over generations
        
        over time
  - - - use of energy from the surroundings and obtain energy for themselves
        
        anabolic
        
        synthesize, gathers and produces molecules
        
        to generate new structures
        
        catabolic
        
        degrades or separates molecules to produce energy
  - - - mantain a relatively stable internal state
        
        despite the world outside
