Organisms
Welcome to IGCSE Study Buddy, where you can revise biology topics from the Cambridge
IGCSE syllabus.
Topic 1: Characteristics and Classification of Living Organisms.
Biology is the study of living things, often called organisms. There are seven characteristics that
an organism must have to be recognized as a living thing.
Mrs. Gren is a mnemonic that may help us remember the seven characteristics of living things.
The first letter of each characteristic spells out “Mrs. Gren.”
The concept and use of classification systems are also discussed. A species is described as a
group of organisms that can reproduce to produce fertile offspring. Species can be classified
into groups based on features they share. The binomial system of naming species is an
internationally agreed system in which the scientific name of an organism is made up of two
parts showing the genus and the species. Dichotomous keys are used to identify organisms
based on a series of questions about their features.
