Characteristics of Life00:00:23

Living organisms exhibit seven life functions: reproduction, feeding, breathing, movement, excretion, perception, and growth/development. If an organism no longer shows these signs, it is considered dead.

Cell Structure Differences00:01:50

Bacteria, animals, plants, and fungi have distinct cell structures. Bacteria lack a nucleus, while animal cells have a nucleus with DNA. Plant cells contain vacuoles and chloroplasts for photosynthesis, and fungal cells are similar to plants but lack chloroplasts.

Tissues, Organs, and Organ Systems00:04:06

Multicellular organisms group identical cells into tissues. Different tissues work together to form organs (like the heart), and groups of organs that cooperate are known as organ systems, such as the digestive or circulatory systems.

Cell Division00:05:21

Organisms constantly produce new cells for growth and repair. Through cell division, a 'mother cell' replicates its chromosomes and splits into two identical 'daughter cells'.
