Cells are made of organelles specialized structures that each perform specific functions that help the cell maintain homeostasis this is much like the body systems work together to help the body maintain homeostasis consider the function of the nervous system which organelle is most similar in function? A- nucleus
B-Ribosome
C-mitochondria
E-Golgi apparatus

the overall balanced equation

6co2 + 6h2o > c6h12o6 + 6o2

sunlight energy

where: co2 = carbon dioxide

h2o = water

light energy is required

c6h12o6 = glucose

o2 = oxygen

those characteristics are cellular organization, reproduction, metabolism, homeostasis, heredity, response to stimuli, growth and development, and adaptation through evolution. some things, such as a virus, demonstrate only a few of these characteristics and are, therefore, not alive

that's all i luck!
