Living things are diverse, can be grouped, and interact in their ecosystems.

All living things sense and respond to their environment.

Multicellular organisms have organ systems that enable them to survive and interact within their environment.

Multicellular organisms rely on internal systems to survive, reproduce, and interact with their environment.
