Question

all living things... a) are made of cells b) contain dna c) use energy d) reproduce e) grow and develop f) respond to the environment g) maintain homeostasis for each organism, list the characteristics described. a lizard moves to a rock to get warm in the sun. this helps it digest its morning meal. the amoeba is a unicellular organism. it eats smaller organisms. a bacterium copies its dna before it divides to make more bacteria. a plant bends toward the light. it uses the energy from the sun to grow new parts. a caterpillar forms a cocoon on a branch and then emerges as a moth in a few days. a jellyfish will sting any fish that gets near its tentacles. it will then consume and digest the fish.

Explanation:

1. Lizard moving to get warm to aid digestion: C (uses energy to regulate body - processes related to digestion).
2. Amoeba eating smaller organisms: C (uses energy to obtain nutrients).
3. Bacterium copying DNA before dividing: D (reproducing by creating copies of itself).
4. Plant bending towards light and using sun's energy: C (using energy for growth and phototropism).
5. Caterpillar forming a cocoon and emerging as a moth: E (growing and developing through metamorphosis).
6. Jellyfish stinging and consuming fish: C (using energy to capture and digest prey).
