|---|---|
| The study of all living things. | 1.Biology |
| The smallest unit that can preform all life's processes. | 2. Cell |
| Organisms made up of only one cell. | 3. Unicellular |
| Organisms made up of multiple cells. | 4. Multicellular |
| Tiny structures that carry out functions necessary for the cell to stay alive. | 5. Organelle |
| Chemical compounds that provide physical structure and that bring about movement, energy use, and other cell functions. | 6. Biological Molecule |
| The maintenance of a stable level of internal conditions even though environmental conditions are constantly changing. | 7. Homeostasis |
| The sum of all the chemical reactions that take in and transform energy and materials from the environment. | 8. Metabolism |
| The process by which an organism becomes a mature adult. | 9. Development |
| All organisms produce new organisms like themselves in this process. | 10. Reproduction |
| Science is characterized by an organized approach to learn how the natural world works. | 11. Scientific Method |
| The act of perceiving a natural occurrence that causes someone to pose a question. | 12. Observation |
| A proposed explanation for the way a particular aspect of the natural world functions. | 13. Hypothesis |
| A statement that forecasts what would happen in a test situation if the hypothesis were true. | 14. Prediction |
