| Transported systems | these are systems found in multi celled organism such as the respiratory system.It is because the cell cant exchange gases with outside environment. |
| Mass | how much matter is in an object (object with more mass require more force to stop!!) |
| Friction | force that stop an object from moving |
| gravity | the force that pull object toward the center (we are pulled to the center of earth) |
| Thermal Energy | Energy that come from heat |
| radiation | the ability for heat energy to travel through air (feeling the heat from a fire with your hand) |
| multi celled | organism you can see without a microscope.they have many systems including transport system.they have many different type of cell that perform the basic life function |
| single celled | ONE cell it does not have transport system it carries out all of the basic life function it is a complete organism |
