Living organisms exhibit key characteristics and are classified into distinct groups based on their cellular structure and functions. IGCSE Edexcel biology characteristics of living organisms can be remembered using MRS C GREN.
- All living things demonstrate movement, reproduction, sensitivity, control, growth, respiration, excretion, and nutrition
- Eukaryotes and prokaryotes differences in biology include the presence or absence of membrane-bound organelles
- The importance of mitochondria function in cells is demonstrated through its role in aerobic respiration and energy production
- Living organisms are classified into groups including animals, plants, fungi, protoctists, bacteria, and viruses
- Each group has distinct characteristics that determine their classification and behavior
