★ Must-know

  • The seven characteristics of life are:
    • order
    • regulation
    • energy processing
    • growth and development
    • reproduction
    • response to the environment
    • evolutionary adaptation

Further detail

📌 Whether viruses such as SARS-CoV-2 are considered living remains a question within the characterization of life.
