ANSWERS (100% CORRECT ANSWERS)
/ALREADY GRADED A+
Abiotic - ✔✔Non-living, may be within or made by a living organism.
Biotic - ✔✔Living. Matter is considered ______ if it was ever alive at some
point in time
Atom - ✔✔Smallest level. The basic unit of matter. Consists of a dense

,Macromolecule - ✔✔Third level. Biologically important molecules that are
technically polymers. Example: DNA.
Cell - ✔✔Fourth level. The fundamental unit of life. Essentially a tiny droplet
of water and other molecules enclosed by a fluid "skin" or membrane. The
smallest and simplest entity that possesses all the characteristics of life.
Organelle - ✔✔Fifth level. Compartments inside the cell that contain
specific groups of macromolecules and carry out specific cellular functions.
One of these organelles is the nucleus; it encloses the DNA within the cell.
Microorganism - ✔✔Sixth level. Single-celled life form. Consists of just one
cell and include unicellular organisms such as bacteria and protists.
Tissue - ✔✔Seventh level. Formed when similar cells work together to fulfill
the same detailed function.
Organ - ✔✔Eighth level. Collections of tissues that work together to carry
out a common general function. Present not only in higher level animals but
also in plants.
Organ System - ✔✔Ninth level. Consists of functionally related organs.
Mammals have many.

,Organism - ✔✔Tenth Level. Individual living entities that survive and
reproduce as a unit. For example, each tree in a forest.
Population - ✔✔Eleventh level. Consists of all the individuals of a species
living within a specific area.
Community - ✔✔Twelfth level. Populations can interact with each other in
positive and negative ways, and together they form this.
Ecosystem - ✔✔Thirteenth level. Consists of all the living things in a
particular area together with the abiotic, or nonliving, parts of that
environment.
Biosphere - ✔✔Fourteenth level. The highest level of organization in living
systems. The collection of all ecosystems on Earth. Includes all habitable
zones on the planet, including land, soil, and rocks to a great depth in the
Earth's crust; water and ice; and the atmosphere to a great height.
Emergent Properties - ✔✔Characteristics of a system that are not present
in any of its component parts.
Biology - ✔✔The scientific study of life and is the branch of science that
studies living organisms and the way organisms interact with their
environments.

, Homeostasis - ✔✔The ability or tendency of organisms and cells to
maintain stable internal conditions.
Nutrient - ✔✔Any matter an organism needs but cannot make for itself.
Energy - ✔✔The capacity to do work or to make a change in the location,
temperature, or structure of matter. Does not have mass and it does not
take up space, but it can be measured in terms of what it does.
Growth - ✔✔An increase in size.
Development - ✔✔Structure and function change in an orderly way as an
organism passes through its life cycle. An individual's pattern of _______ is
partly determined by genetic instructions.
Reproduction - ✔✔Occurs when an individual organism passes on its
genetic information to a newly independent organism, or offspring.
Evolution - ✔✔A scientific theory that explains how and why life changes
over time. Provides the explanation for why all living organisms share
profound similarities, and yet, the life forms on our planet are so incredibly
diverse.
