Give an example of a living organism and how this organism meets at least six characteristics of life. You must be very specific for your organism in your descriptions to demonstrate your understanding of the characteristics of life. For example, you cannot just say "a dog obtains energy by eating." You need to explain what kinds of food a dog eats, what type of consumer it is, etc. (30 pts: 12 pts - naming characteristics of life, 18 pts – specific descriptions)
