List features that distinguish living 1. Cellular basis - All living things consist of one
organisms from nonliving matter. or more cells
2. Requirement for energy and nutrients - Life is
sustained by ongoing inputs of energy and
nutrients
3. Homeostasis - Living things sense and respond
to change
4. DNA is hereditary material - Genetic
information in the form of DNA is passed to
offspring
Describe the levels of organization Atoms → cells → tissues → organs → organ
in the living world. systems → organism → population → community
→ ecosystem → the biosphere
List the three domains of life and Prokaryotes are bacteria and archaea.
distinguish between each domain. Domain Bacteria: unicellular no nucleus
Domain Archaea: unicellular no nucleus but
closer to eukarya
Domain Eukarya: have nucleus
List four kingdoms within the 1. Fungi can be single or multicellular but digest

By definition, distinguish between a 1. Population: multiple organisms in a single spot
population, a community, and an 2. community: is made up of populations of
ecosystem. different organisms
3. ecosystem: is the interactions between the
community and the non-living environment that
surrounds it
Distinguish between a producer, a producer:photosynthetic organisms that trap light
consumer and a decomposer. and convert that light energy into chemical bond
energy. such as some bacteria, protists, and all
plants
consumer: organisms that feed on already-stored
food
decomposer: bacteria and fungi recycle the dead
molecules throughout the bioshpere.
Distinguish between a hypothesis hypothesis: testable explanation of a natural
and a prediction. phenomenon.
prediction: statement based on hypothesis about
a condition that should exit if the hypothesis is
correct.
What is meant by the phrase a hypothesis can be proven that is false
potentially falsifiable hypothesis?
