A

Develop and evolve

19
Q 
(explain)
Metabolism
Non random organism
Growth
Hereditary and reproduction
Adapts/con to environment
A

Metabolism- Exchange of energy and matter
with the environment must be present

Non random - All organisms are highly structured, and decay is the process of its molecules returning to a random arrangement.

Growth - All organisms increase in size from the time they are formed

A system of heredity and reproduction - An organism must produce offspring very similar to itself such that
when an organism dies, life persists within its progeny

A capacity to respond to the environment - When conditions become dry, an organism
can respond by becoming dormant,
conserving water, or by obtaining water more
efficiently
