Water
All living things need water because they need to obtain chemicals from their surroundings, break down food, grow, move substances within their bodies, and reproduce.
Energy is required for living things because they have to have energy to do every other characteristic of life. Living things obtain energy by making it themselves or eating other organisms.
Through decay when living things die, and through their wastes.
In the 1700s, scientists discovered the chemical and physical basis of living things, and soon they realized that the chemical organization of all living things is remarkably similar. Microorganisms, as forms of living things, conform to this principle and have a chemical basis that underlies their metabolism.

If you mean the 8 things all living things have in common, they are as follows: 1) All living things are highly organized and contain many complex chemical substances. 2) All living things contain one or more cells. 3) All living things use energy. 4) Living things have a definite form and have a limited size. 5) Living things grow. 6) Living things respond to changes in the environment. 7) Living things can reproduce. 8) Living things eventually die.
* Living things are made of cells. * Living things obtain and use energy. * Living things grow and develop. * Living things reproduce. * Living things respond to their environment. * Living things adapt to their environment.
