    Biology, characteristics of life
    List and then explain five properties that are characteristics of living organisms and explain
    How, by working together, an organism is living.

    I have the five properties, but I don't quite understand what the teacher wants for the second part (five characteristics "working together" to make an organism living.)

    Thanks in advance!

    Think about any two of them. Could one be present without the other not present?

    Living organisms require energy. They eat to do so. They use that energy to breathe and do other things included in the characteristics you were asked to list.

    Hope it helped! :)
