do you think that all living organisms show all of the characteristics of living organisms of all time?

Sagot :

I would say no.

Let’s explore this with an example,

The Characteristics of living things are:
Movement
sensitivity
respiration
reproduction
growth
excretion and nutrition

Human for example are living organisms, but we as organisms do not reproduce constantly or excrete constantly. The cells which make us up are constantly working but because we are multi cellular they are not considered the whole living organism.

If we were looking at a unicellular organism like salmonella bacteria, it might be a bit different. But even in bacteria they reproduce and excrete following a rhythm. They don’t do it constantly all the time, I hope that makes sense.
