[[[color code: black = lecture notes/presentation grey = textbook notes/lecture notes]]] What is life? (pg 24)the atoms and molecules found in living things are no different from those found in non- living forms of matter. Living cells obey the same fundamental laws of chemistry and physics as does the abiotic (nonliving) world eg. Biochemical reactions that take place within living cells, although seemingly remarkably complex, are the only modifications of reactions that take place in the abiotic world. The emergent properties of life/ 7 characteristics that all forms of life share. Display order: all forms of life are arranged in a highly ordered manner, with the cell being the fundamental unit of life: consists of organized cells.
