3. which characteristics of living things does soil have?
4. is soil alive (living)? why or why not?
5. use the following word - bank to complete the descriptions of the characteristics of life:
homeostasis adaptation reproduce cells growth
stimuli development energy dna response
a. results in an increase in height (ex: you get taller).
results in a change (ex: a caterpillar becomes a butterfly)
b. all organisms keep stable internal conditions by a process called (ex: your body temperature stays at 98.6. if your body temperature goes up, you start to sweat to get your temperature back down to 98.6.)
c. all living things have inside their cells to give them their traits, such as hair color and eye color.
d. are changes that occur over time that help a species survive. (ex: over many generations, polar bears changed to having white fur to survive in the arctic)
e. all organisms are made of one or more. (ex: this is the most basic unit of life)
f. organisms to pass along their genes from one generation to the next. if they don’t do this, then the species will eventually become extinct
g. all organisms need to survive. (ex: we get it from food, plants get it from the sun)
h. organisms respond to their environment. for example, a plant called the mimosa closes its leaves when something touches them. the touch is an example of a, and the plant’s reaction of closing its leaves is called a

Accepted Answer

# Brief Explanations:
A. Growth is an increase in size like getting taller. Development is a change like a caterpillar - to - butterfly transformation. Homeostasis is maintaining stable internal conditions like sweating to regulate body temperature. DNA contains traits such as hair and eye color. Adaptation are changes over time for survival like polar bears' white fur. Cells are the basic units of life. Reproducing passes genes to the next generation. Energy is needed for survival. A stimulus causes a response, like touch making a Mimosa plant close its leaves.
# Answer:
A. Growth; Development
B. Homeostasis
C. DNA
D. Adaptation
E. Cells
F. Reproduce
G. Energy
H. Stimuli; Response
