A

1) Order - (cells = basis of organization)
2) Reproduction - with their own kind
3) Growth and development - consistent growth and develop controlled by DNA
4) Energy processing - chem energy to power organism
5) Responce to the environment - respond to environment stimuli
6) Regulation - control internal environment with limits to sustain life
7) Evolutionary adaptations - evolve over generations

Q

What are the five bases of biology?

A

1- Novel properties emerge at each level of biological organization
2- Cells are the level at which the properties of life emerge
