NOTES
◉ Stable internal environment
Answer: Response to stimuli and homeostasis
◉ Making of new organisms and increase in size once produced
Answer: Growth and reproduction
◉ Living organisms maintain
Answer: homeostasis
◉ Energy flows through
Answer: living systems
◉ matter is
Answer: recycled
◉ Life's components are interconnected
Answer: and interdependent.
,◉ Organisms grow
Answer: develop, and reproduce
◉ Evolutionary processes explain both
Answer: the unity and adaptive diversity of life
◉ homeostasis
Answer: The ability or tendency of organisms and cells to maintain
stable internal conditions.
◉ Matter is made up of
Answer: Atoms
◉ Any matter an organism needs but cannot make for itself is
considered
Answer: a nutrient
◉ When an organism releases matter, the excreted matter is
considered
Answer: waste
◉ Waste
,Answer: Urine, feces, exhaled breath
◉ Reproduction
Answer: occurs when an individual organism passes on its genetic
information to a newly independent organism, or offspring
◉ Energy
Answer: the capacity to do work or to make a change in the location,
temperature, or structure of matter.
◉ chemical potential energy
Answer: what the substance can do if it is put through a chemical
reaction, like burning, that will release its stored energy
◉ Chemical potential energy is measured in units called
Answer: calories
◉ development
Answer: structure and function change in an orderly way as an
organism passes through its life cycle
◉ DNA
, Answer: the molecule of inheritance, encodes proteins and other
molecules that build cells and make them work
◉ Genes
Answer: recipes for proteins
◉ Evolution
Answer: scientific theory that explains how and why life changes
over time
◉ The two fundamental tenents of evolution are
Answer: shared ancestry and natural selection.
◉ Natural selection
Answer: helps explain how groups of organisms become well-suited,
or adapted, to their surroundings
◉ Evolution does NOT occur within an individual; evolution happens
at the level of the population.
Answer: True
◉ scientific experiment
