adapted correct answers Matched to the local environment.
evolution correct answers Descent with modification; the idea that living species are descendants of
ancestral species that were different from the present-day ones; also defined more narrowly as the
change in the genetic composition of a population from generation to generation.
biology correct answers The scientific study of life.
reductionism correct answers The approach of reducing complex systems to simpler components that
are more manageable to study.
biosphere correct answers The entire portion of Earth inhabited by life; the sum of all the planet's
ecosystems.
ecosystem correct answers All the organisms in a given area as well as the abiotic factors with which
they interact; one or more communities and the physical environment around them.
community correct answers All the organisms that inhabit a particular area; an assemblage of
populations of different species living close enough together for potential interaction.
population correct answers A group of individuals of the same species that live in the same area and
interbreed, producing fertile offspring.
organism correct answers An individual living thing.
organ correct answers A specialized center of body function composed of several different types of
tissues.
organ system correct answers A group of organs that work together in performing vital body functions.
tissue correct answers An integrated group of cells with a common structure, function, or both.
cell correct answers Life's fundamental unit of structure and function.
organelle correct answers Any of several kinds of membrane-enclosed structures with specialized
functions, suspended in the cytosol of eukaryotic cells.
molecule correct answers Two or more atoms held together by covalent bonds.
atom correct answers The smallest unit of matter that retains the properties of an element.
emergent properties correct answers New properties that arise with each step upward in the hierarchy
of life, owing to the arrangement and interactions of parts as complexity increases.
