Characteristics of Life Life is
1 - Made up of cells
Cells are the basic unit of life. Living things are composed of cells.
2- Cellular Organization
Living things are able to organize simple things into complex things. Humans can organize cells that are alike
into tissues and organs
3 - The Chemicals of Life
Living cells are composed of similar chemicals, water, carbohydrates, proteins, lipids, and nucleic acids.
4. Energy Use
Living things use energy to repair and function your brain cells are using energy right now.
5 - Response to Surroundings
Living things react to changes environment. Populations evolve over time. You respond to your surroundings
when you are startled by a car horn
6 - Growth and Development
Living things grow from the energy found in organic molecules and develop, becoming more complex over time.
7. Reproduction
Living things duplicate their genetic code and produce offspring.

On a recent expedition to a remote region of northern canada, scientists uncovered skeletal remains from about 100,000 years ago. surprisingly, all the skeletal remains, which included many species from differing biological families and spanned about two thousand years, showed evidence of experiencing temperatures in excess of 1000 degrees fahrenheit (or 538 degrees celsius). which of the following, if true, best explains the apparent paradox between the cold environment and the evidence of the bones experiencing hot temperatures? (a) chemical changes that naturally occur during the process of decay in only one north canadian species produce the same evidence of the species' skeletons being exposed to hot temperatures as the expedition scientists found. (b) a little over 103,000 years ago, a large fire is known to have occurred in northern canada. (c) strong evidence exists that as early as 70,000 years ago, homo sapiens around the world relied heavily on fire to cook animals. (d) in the same expedition and in roughly the same layer of excavation, scientists found rudimentary wood cutting and hunting tools used by early humans.
