question 1 of 41
characteristics shared by all living organisms
answer bank
adapt or evolve reproduce maintain their internal environment using energy grow by adding more cells or enlarging cells
respond to their environment create the energy needed for growth maintain mobility throughout their existence
composed of one or more cells

Explanation:

All living organisms share core characteristics: being made of one or more cells (cellularity), growing via cell addition/enlargement, reproducing, responding to the environment, maintaining internal balance (homeostasis) with energy, and adapting/evolving over time. Creating energy is incorrect (organisms convert energy, not create it), and mobility is not universal (e.g., plants are stationary).

Answer:

adapt or evolve, reproduce, maintain their internal environment using energy, grow by adding more cells or enlarging cells, respond to their environment, composed of one or more cells
