Now, that may sound a funny question, but plants, just like people, are living things and, in many ways, all living things are alike. The trouble is when you think about plants doing the things ...
Jan 30, 2024 · Changes in leaf color: Plants that live in cold climates often have leaves that are red or purple. This helps to protect the leaves from the cold. Changes in growth habit: Plants that live in windy climates often have a low, spreading growth habit. This helps to protect the plants from being blown over.
C The hierarchical classification system. There are various sizes of groups into which living organisms are put.The largest group is the kingdom.There are five kingdoms: prokaryotes (which includes bacteria), protoctista, fungi, plants and animals. Each kingdom is further divided into smaller groups called.

Structure, function, adaptation of living things. • Living things have various ‘structures’ that enable them to survive: transport structures in plants by which water and trace elements move; digestive structures and respiratory structures in animals; and reproductive structures. • Organism structures and behaviours should be seen in ...

- Order. Organisms are highly organized, coordinated structures that consist of one or more cells. Even very simple, single-celled organisms are remarkably complex: inside each cell, atoms make up molecules; these in turn make up cell organelles and other cellular inclusions.
- Sensitivity or Response to Stimuli. Organisms respond to diverse stimuli. For example, plants can bend toward a source of light, climb on fences and walls, or respond to touch (Figure 2).
- Reproduction. Single-celled organisms reproduce by first duplicating their DNA, and then dividing it equally as the cell prepares to divide to form two new cells.
- Growth and Development. All living things increase in size and/or change over their lifespan. For example, a human grows from a baby into an adult and goes through developmental processes such as puberty.
Growth and Development. All living things increase in size and/or change over their lifespan. For example, a human grows from a baby into an adult and goes through developmental processes such as puberty. Organisms grow and develop following specific instructions coded for by their genes (DNA).

Summary. Biology is the science of life. All living organisms share several key properties such as order, sensitivity or response to stimuli, reproduction, adaptation, growth and development, regulation, homeostasis, and energy processing. Living things are highly organized following a hierarchy that includes atoms, molecules, organelles, cells ...
