Bio 111 chapter 1 lesson 1 jan 10, 2017. Seven characteristics of life: has order, evolutionary adaptation, response to stimuli (external or internal), reproduce, grow & develop, energy processing, regulation. They have evolutionary adaptation, they respond to stimuli, and they have order. They do not grow and develop, they do not process energy, and they do not regulate(do not have anything to regulate) They do not reproduce, they more or less inject their own genetic information into a host cell that becomes a new virus. Life is studied at different hierarchical levels, branching from the entire planet down to molecules. The biosphere consists of all life on earth and all regions where life can exist. Ecosystems all living and non-living things in a particular area. Communities the diverse organisms that inhabit an ecosystem (living things) Populations all the individuals of a species in a defined area.
