Characteristics of Life
HTML-код

- Life is difficult to define, but there are characteristics of life that can be explored! Join the Amoeba Sisters as they explore several characteristics of life. Click "show more" to expand video details to see table of contents & additional information. 👇
We chose not to give a numerical value for how many characteristics of life there are, because we do not want to imply that what we are listing must be a specific order, or that it cannot be expanded upon or include exceptions. Additionally, characteristics can also certainly be titled differently. Our goal is to promote thought and discussion about what it means for an organism to be alive as well as provide characteristics of life that can be explored when trying to study living things.
CHARACTERISTICS OF LIFE MENTIONED IN THIS VIDEO:
Intro 00:00
Organization (all life is composed of 1 or more cells) 2:20
Homeostasis 2:54
Metabolism (including need to obtain+use energy) 3:35
Reproduction 4:22
Growth and Development 4:46
Response to Stimuli 5:10
Evolution (occurs in populations, can lead to adaptation) 5:58
While living organisms tend to have ALL of the above characteristics, there are exceptions (such as the 'zonkey' mentioned in video at 6:55).

Please make it clear in your videos that evolution is a theory and what you are stating is believed to be true when you speak of evolution. Thanks
@B Williamson We're a bit confused by what you are asking. As far as including evolution in our list of characteristics of life for this video, the sources we list in the video details may be helpful. However, your comment states multiple videos, and it seems to be about the word "theory." We actually created a video about the word "theory" in science and contrasted it to how it is used in general conversation. In casual conversation, the word "theory" is often used casually as an opinion, hunch, or guess. But in science, a theory is an explanation that is supported by scientific evidence, repeatedly tested and supported by facts. We have a video on this term in science here: ruclips.net/video/P30QlwSsUic/видео.html
@@AmoebaSisters But evolution IS a thought, or theory. No one knows if it's true. As for the Christian opinion and/or biblical theory.
How are characters of life connected to each other?
@@KashGotSaved08 Nobody knows is religion is true. It is definitely NOT a theory. You understand science, you believe in evolution. Totally. different. If you take for granted gravitational theory or atomic theory then you understand what a theory is. So said for evolution. You cannot pick and choose.
I'm guessing 90% of people here are here because school (Cause that's why I'm here)
ugh corona am i right?
Yep
Same bro, my biology teacher brought me here
Yep
yessir ;-;
2:20 organization

You’re a saint
Thanks bro
Ben Ranger yes you have won my approval
You’re a god!!
Ben Ranger i owe you bruh
bro I hope my recommendations don't get messed up because of this, I gotta watch this for school

Im trying to watch more casual youtubers so I'll feel more impowered when the test comes because I'll be writing about something I know instead of something Im forcing myself to remember
LITERALLY SAME
who else has there teacher tell them to do worksheets dealing with amoeba sisters? ;)
Me
Also, Nice GD Icon. You Got all 3 Coins on Deadlocked?
I do its just i need to do it on google classroom

Bathtub pony trying its best, but getting lowkey bullied XD
Bathtub pony lives matter ✊😔
yeah let bathtub pony do his thing : (
You just couldn’t forget about that pony huh. I feel you😭
From America to Syria you're helping people to understand biology
You're great
We love you .. 💙💙
I'm studing medicine at the first year and you're soo helpful.. Thank you 💙💙
if you need to write 3 things you learned from this video here they are!
1: it is impossible to count all the chararistics of life because it keeps changing
2: that there are unicellular creatures (dont mind how i didnt know that i swear im not a sweaty 2nd grader)
3: when you put a cactus next to a window it rotates 0_0
glooks my guy im not watching this whole thing
POV: you forgot to study and you're doing an Amoeba Sisters binge at 2am
POV u need some sleep
eXactly
We are reviewing this in my science class. I was like "A 7 minute video, this must be good." I had to do a worksheet while listening and I really enjoyed it. You guys gave me more information then what happened in class. So I just wanna say thank you for helping me understand this!
Same bro and thanks to her :)
my biology teacher made me watch this, then said it was missing after i turned it in, k
What is Life?
What am i even doing with my life?
Am i even alive?
Me: gosh such serious questions...(seriously depressed for the rest of the dayT0T)
same
She is wayyyy better than my teacher I finally get this who agrees 😂
selelexis was a
R
meeee
Not me noob
She doesn't drag on about unrelated topics like my old Biology teacher!
I love these videos mainly because in school the teachers explain this for hours and it's boring and hard to remember but I like how it gets straight to the point of what each thing means and does in a short period of time. These videos are helping me with college and I love that there are pictures; I am a visual learner and everything in these videos helped so much.
Poor bathtub pony, he just wanted to be a real pony😭
Even When Science was good,You Made it a million times better!Thank you Amoeba Sisters!!!
yep.
I'm 24, I'm back to better understand life now. Don't down talk your teachers because you really will need this information later in life. Especially to help you understand yourself and the world around you. May Allah make it easy for us Ameen
The only science channel that’s actually good
You forgot... crash course
@@fatematuzzohra9322what abt bill nye the sceinece guy
My teacher used this video and I’m using it for my homework lmao

The Amoeba Sisters *always* come in clutch 💯
4:04 omg lol the Sun was like *I've seen murder*
I want you to be my science teachers.
POV: You are in biology/science. your teacher tells your class to go watch this video and tAke NoTeS becUase wE neEd to leEarNR
_leearnr_
I'm scrolling though comments for notes lol
you guys are really amazing...... I've watched ur every single video....they are really amazing...keep going👍👍👍
Nikhil are you that person at Glen ames cause I know you then
pov: you are a mid schooler that has to watch this and is afraid it will ruin your recommendations
yes, this is 100% accurate. I'm not even watching, I'm just scrolling through comments
Ooh we’re learning this is biology. I’ve loved your videos since 6th grade, and now that I’m in high school, our teacher plays your videos and I always feel so happy. My class goes a bit slow in school though, so I use your videos to learn something new, lol. I love these videos, yay!!! Thanks for everything you do!!
This made us so happy! Thanks so much for being there since the beginning! ^___^
thats why i watched this lmao
you must be in public school.
@@liminalresearch8018 what’s wrong with that
@@AmoebaSisters you're the best!
this channel is like theodd1'sout but science teacher :v
I watched this video in class and everyone thought it was so funny and we learned a lot from it so good job
Thanks amoeba sisters. Your videos are amazing and really helps me out. Thanks!
this is literally the educational version of Jaiden animations
True
my teacher makes us watch these and this is legit the best science show I have seen in a while. love it so much
Video starts at 2:20
4:07 the struggle of life. this concludes only one thing
Great way of teaching. This is how everyone should be taught ,In a fun way
my teacher is having us take a quiz on this video and i got so happy that it was the amoeba sisters
Who else is watching this because of your teacher? XD
As much as I watch your videos for studying on my SAT subject test, I watch them for the fun of it. You guys really know how to make education fun!! Thanks for everything you've given us ❤️👍
I show these to my students. They love them.
Yeahhh, my teacher linked this video for our learning purposes. Woohoo!
Your videos are very explanatory (I love that!). Thanks so much for the fantastic videos. If you need to make a new video, plate tectonics would be an interesting topic. I hope you have a great day/night!
This was so helpful for the summer of 2020/QUARANTINE/CORONAVIRUS. Thank you so much for making these. They gave me a big headstart if my Pre-AP biology class. Even though its online, I still love it
Ugh Biology test next week, wish me luck, bois
yessir
thank you so much for this video i learned so much!!
i did the same thing, with a crocodile... i thought he would defend me bc i took "care" of it and let it grow... boy was i wrong!
cool! just the animation....
This video helped me understand the characteristics of life…
but I didn’t watch the video I just went to the description😗
hm m sounds familiar
I actually really enjoy these videos in school
I've never wanted something to finish faster
Thank you, i have a science exam.
"Growth and development" sounds like health class *shiver* #WhoElseIsHereForHomeWork
me
this helps me so much in biology in school, thank you for making this :D
I ❤️ you guys!! You are amazing
my god this is soooo good! My science teacher says to watch this for notes, and this is exactly what i enjoy. Animation. I lovee animation,so being able to learn and watch animations would be soo cool. Keep up the good work!
We could have watched Crash Course but *no* , I gotta take notes for my exams from this fever dream of a 9 year old talking about what they learned from Bill Nye and The Magic School Bus.
Most ppl r here from school & r worried about it messing up their recommendations, the other small percent of ppl actually found this useful
any one else in biology
7:45 is ME though!!
I’ve watched this like 20 times in my life and my teacher is making me watch it again-
Studying for midterms and the amoeba sisters are the only thing getting me progress
I almost didn’t know what to put in my assignment so I watched them
you guys are so awesome. i love your videos and even though i know i have to keep on working, i just want to watch your videos over and over. thanks for keeping me entertained and learning at the same time!
Yo im gonna draw fanart for you guys. You two explain a lot of things rly well and i love your videos like holy cow 💚💖💚💝💚💖💙💝💘💝💚💝💚💝💘💝
Thanks, a science teacher.
I think we all learned something here DONT TRUST YOUR SCIENCE TEACHERS WHEN THEY SAY THIS VIDEO IS GOOD AND IT HELPS YOU ANSWER THE QUESTIONS THIS ONLY MAKES YOU FALL ASLEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEPPPPPPPPPPP
2:10 lol
that's what i wonder all the time xD.
haha same
My teacher always watches your videos! And... I LOVE THEM! It always makes me pass my tests!😂
Also I subbed
I have a test today and I think I'm gonna fail😭
THANK YOU!
Thank you so much for doing this kind of video...I’m a visual learner and this really helps me
Even though I’m not learning life science anymore I still like your videos! They helped me a lot with topics I was struggling on!
They know how to teach and entertain at the same time
I used to love those toys that would expand, I had one that I was disappointed with cuz it didn’t grow too large so I left it in the tub like that and WOW DID THAT THING GROW!! I thought it might have been alive too.
I remember watching this in school some years ago. Great channel.
Every time I look soothing up and your Chanel has made a video on it I gain hope I’m now subbing
We always watch this in science class
I just find out this channels and it is good for studying geometry and science:)
Thanks Mrs. Smith for this
*Do unicellular organisms like bacteria grow???* They're only one cell
Yes, they grow. When they reach 'maximum size', they divide.
For everyone reading the comments while doing the extra credit packet😋
You Guys are doing Great! Helping me teach my 6th Grader
you explain things so much better thx
You guys help me with science all the time 😀 Thanks for this!!!
"Warning: May Overfuel Child's Imagination" SKSKSKSKSKSK
and i oop-
dont even start that!
Very well-made video! Thanks!
Since everyone is talking about it im here since my science teacher assigned to watch this
Creekwood 7th grade i think
anyone here for rona school?
yeah lol
Bruh they use the same intro music as casually explained
i wondered whered id heard that tune before!
Great video, Thanks of the help!
I can't believe that I'm watching this for university Biology and it's actually helpful😆
Fun fact; An egg is just *one* cell.
Wait... Really?
