Explanation:

To solve this problem, we analyze each statement and match it to the appropriate characteristic of life:

1. Organization (1/5)

• Statement: Cells make up tissues, tissues make up organs, and organs make up organ systems.

This describes the hierarchical organization of living things (cells → tissues → organs → organ systems), so it belongs to Organization.

2. Metabolism (2/5)

• Statement 1: Autotrophs use energy from the sun.

Autotrophs (e.g., plants) convert solar energy into chemical energy (photosynthesis) to fuel metabolic processes.

• Statement 2: Your body millions are (likely “Your body uses millions of [reactions]” or similar, implying energy use/chemical reactions).

Metabolism involves energy transformation and chemical reactions to sustain life. These statements belong to Metabolism.

3. Homeostasis (3/5)

• Statement: [Implied: Your body maintains internal balance, e.g., temperature, pH].

Homeostasis is the maintenance of stable internal conditions. If the statement relates to regulating internal environments (e.g., “Your body maintains temperature”), it belongs to Homeostasis.

4. Reproduction, Growth, and Development (4/5)

• Statement: Humans produce offspring that go through infancy, childhood, and then puberty to reach maturity.

This describes growth (physical development) and reproduction (producing offspring), so it belongs to Reproduction, Growth, and Development.

5. Evolution (5/5)

• Statement: If bacteria are exposed to antibiotics, genes that provide natural resistance to the antibiotics will become more common in the bacterial population.

This is natural selection: resistant bacteria survive and reproduce, leading to evolution of the population. Thus, it belongs to Evolution.

Final Categorization:

• Organization: Cells make up tissues, tissues make up organs, and organs make up organ systems.
• Metabolism: Autotrophs use energy from the sun; [Your body’s energy/chemical reactions].
• Homeostasis: [Your body’s internal regulation].
• Reproduction, Growth, and Development: Humans produce offspring…reach maturity.
• Evolution: If bacteria are exposed to antibiotics…more common in the bacterial population.
