ANSWERS) ALREADY GRADED A+
Organism - Answer -An individual living creature
Characteristics of a living thing - Answer -(1) Order
(2) Evolutionary Adaptation
(3) Regulation
(4)Energy Processing
(5)Growth and Development
(6) Response to Environment
(7)Reproduction
Cell - Answer -Basic unit of life
order - Answer -is the taxonomic rank used in the classification of organisms
Example: Sun Flower- Seeds and Leaves
evolutionary adaptation - Answer -Is smaller genetic changes that allow for better
survival.
(Cold Climate- Animal grows more Fur)
regulation - Answer -Where optimal levels must be maintained to achieve homeostasis.
When levels are not optimal the organism needs a regulatory process.
( Shivering when cold- Shivering creates heat)
Energy Processing - Answer -Biochemical reactions that produce energy. The sum of
those biochemical reactions are metabolism.
Living organisms need energy= ATP.
Plant traps light for photosynthesis
Metabolism - Answer -The sum of biochemical reactions
Growth and Development - Answer -All living things experience growth or change over
their lifetime. (Grows, matures, ages, Dies)
Response to Environment - Answer -Living things respond to their environment through
adaptation.
, What is adaptation - Answer -a change or process that allows a organism to become
better suited for their environment.
What is stimulus? - Answer -Is anything that causes an organism to respond
What is Behavioral Adaptation? - Answer -A squirrel hibernating
What is Physical adaptation? - Answer -A crab shell becoming hard
Reproduction - Answer -Living thing must have a way of reproducing new and thriving
generations
Sexual reproduction - Answer -Fusion of two gametes to make new offspring.(One
gamete from each parent.)
asexual reproduction - Answer -A single organism creates off-spring.
spore formation - Answer -an asexual reproductive process in which an organism forms
a special cell called a spore. ( Bacteria, Plants, Fungi)
binary fission - Answer -A form of asexual reproduction in single-celled organisms by
which one cell divides into two cells of the same size. ( Prokaryotes and some
Eukaryotic protOZOA.)
Vegetable reproduction - Answer -a form of asexual reproduction in which offspring
grow from a part of a parent plant. ( Strawberry plants)
Budding - Answer -Asexual reproduction in which a part of the parent organism pinches
off and forms a new organism ( Fungi, bacteria , Cnidaria organism)
Fragmentation - Answer -(Star fish, Segmented worms)
Levels of Biological Organization - Answer -biosphere, ecosystems, communities,
populations, organisms, organs and organ systems, tissues, cells, macromolucules ,
molecules, atom
Biosphere - Answer -Earth and the atmosphere- All capable of sustaining living
organisms- Broadest Level
Ecosystem - Answer -System of living and non-living things in a region. Example:
Grasslands, tundras, Forests.
Communities - Answer -All collective organism living within a Biological system.
Example: all living organism, plants, grass, fungi, animals, bacteria
