the smallest units of matter having a capacity for life - correct answer ✔atom
the signature molecule of cells is a nucleic acid know as - correct answer ✔DNA, Deoxyribose Nucleic
Acid
one of the key defining features of life and the process by which parents transmits DNA instructions for
duplicating their traits to offspring - correct answer ✔inheritance
development - correct answer ✔development for all organisms the transformation of an egg into a
multicelled adult with cells, tissues, and organs specialized for particular tasks; DNA also guides this
energy - correct answer ✔most simply defined as a capacity to do work
- correct answer ✔nothing in the universe happens without a complete or partial _____ of energy
metabolism - correct answer ✔____ refers to the cell's capacity to obtain and convert energy from its
surroundings and use energy to maintain itself, grow and produce more cells
energy - correct answer ✔ATP is the cells form of ____
responses - correct answer ✔Organisms sense changes in their surroundings, then they make
controlled, compensatory ________ to them. To accomplish this, each organism has controlled
mechanisms, which are molecules and structures that detect changes
, homeostasis - correct answer ✔organisms respond so exquisitely to energy changes that their internal
operating conditions remain within tolerable limits. This is called a state of ______, one of the key
defining features of life.
genus ???? - correct answer ✔a _____ is designated by the first part of a two-part name of each
organism that encompasses all the species that seem closely related by way of their recent descent from
