 We are surrounded by living and nonliving
things.

 The study of life is biology

 Biotic is anything that is alive or has once
been alive while on Earth

 To be alive an organism has to fit 7 distinct

characteristics.
7 Features of Life Example
Feeding- take substances from the
environment to grow and stay
healthy

Movement- internal or external

Respiration- exchange of gases in

the environment to breathe and
sustain life
Excretion- or removal of waste from
the body
Growth- feeding provides the body
with the nutrients to become more
complex over time
Sensitivity- reaction to the changes
around us
Reproduction- producing offspring
What happens when an organism hibernates
or becomes inactive or dormant?
  Abiotic - are nonliving parts of the
environment.

 How do you think abiotic things play a part

in the ecosystem?
