adaptation
examples of regulatory •shivering to generate body heat in humans
processes •regulation of blood flow through an organism
metabolism sum of the biochemical reactions in a living organism
in order to sustain life, energy
biochemical reactions are
utilized to produce
_______________.
,living organisms must biological fuel
obtain ______________ ________ or

apart of anaerobic
respiration to produce
_____________ for ________________
_______________.
the generation of new growth; development
offspring is always
accompanied by distinct
_______________ & ________________
changes
a change or a process that allows an organism to
adaptation
become better suited for their environment
stimulus anything that causes an organism to respond
(T/F) Adaptations can be True
physical or behavioral
an example of a physical a crab's hard shell
adaptation
an example of a behavioral a squirrel hibernating through the winter
adaptation
involves the fusion of two gametes (one from each
sexual reproduction
parent) that will unite and grow into a new offspring
asexual reproduction gives rise to new offspring from a single organism
, spore formation (protozoa, bacteria, plants & fungi)
•binary fission (prokaryotes & some eukaryotic protozoa
such as amoeba)
•vegetative reproduction (some fruit-bearing plants,
examples of asexual
such as strawberry plants)
reproduction
•budding (fungi, bacteria, some plants, and fewer
animals like the hydra)
•fragmentation (segmented worms and echinoderms
like starfish)

all the collective organisms living within a biological
communities
ecosystem
a group of one particular species living within defined
population
boundaries of a community
