Metamorphosis

Give at least three characteristics of living organisms

To reproduce, grow and develop, obtain matter from the environment and use energy, and respond to stimuli, whether internal or coming from the environment

It is the process by which the body takes in and uses food, esp. food that it needs to stay healthy, or the scientific study of this process.
