Something is considered to be alive if it follows all 7 criteria for living creatures. An easy way to remember these characteristics is to use the acronym Mrs Gren (or Mrs Nerg): Movement – they move or change position. Respiration – they get energy from their food.
Most scientists use seven life processes or characteristics to determine whether something is living or non-living. The table below describes seven characteristics of most living things and contains references to earthworms to explain why we can definitely say that they are 'living'.
Living organisms share these seven characteristics, but that does not make them the same. The ability of the individual to adapt and the population to evolve allows for a diverse number of species throughout the world.
The living things we saw in the introduction—humans, dogs, and trees—easily fulfill all seven criteria of life. We, along with our canine friends and the plants in our yards, are made of cells, metabolize, maintain homeostasis, grow, and respond.
The 7 characteristics of a living thing are both signs of life and vital for sustaining it. While different living organisms may seem extremely different, or potentially seem not to be alive at all, as long as they perform all 7 of the following processes, we can identify them as a living organism. M - Movement - All living things move, even plants
All living things—even the simplest life forms—have a complex chemistry. Living things consist of large, complex molecules, and they also undergo many complicated chemical changes to stay alive. Thousands (or more) of these chemical reactions occur in each cell at any given moment.
