In this way described, organisms function and act on their own without losing the structural level until death .
Organisms are composed of matter, which, 95%, is made up of four bioelements that are carbon , hydrogen , oxygen and nitrogen and its basic properties are organization, homeostasis , which is the natural internal balance that each organism observes. , irritability , which is the reaction to those external stimuli, the metabolism that is responsible for the process of transforming energy into nutrients so that the organism remains active and functioning, development, the more nutrients are transformed the organism will acquire size, reproduction, which is the ability of organisms to produce copies of themselves, and adaptation to the environment.
