Themes and Concepts of Biology Verified
and Graded A+
Biology - Answer The scientific study of life
Properties of life - Answer Order, sensitivity or response to stimuli, reproduction, adaptation, growth
and development, regulation, homeostasis, and energy processing
Order - Answer Consist of one or more cells, can be remarkably complex. Cells can also group together
to perform specific functions within an organism
Sensitivity or Response to Stimuli - Answer All living organisms can respond to outside stimuli, such as
plants and phototropism
Reproduction - Answer Ability to generate offspring. Replication of DNA, genes are passed along (fur
color, blood type)
Adaptation - Answer A consequence of evolution by natural selection, all organisms exhibit a fitness to
their environment
Growth and Development - Answer consistent growth and development controlled by inherited DNA
Regulation - Answer Coordination of internal functions, such as carrying oxygen to cool the body and
deliver nutrients to each cell
Homeostatis - Answer process by which organisms maintain a relatively stable internal environment
Energy Processing - Answer the use of chemical energy to power an organism's activities and chemical
reactions, Gathered from the sun or energy from other molecules they consume
Atom - Answer
