|---|---|
| Organism | - an individual living thing that carries on the activities of life by means of organs which have separate functions but are dependent on each other |
| Cell | - the smallest unit that can live on its own and that makes up all living organisms and the tissues of the body |
| Unicellular nomenclature | - an organism that consists of a single cell |
| Multicellular | - an organism composed of many cells, which are to varying degrees integrated and independent. |
| Metabolism | - the chemical changes that take place in a cell or an organism. |
| Stimulus | - anything that can trigger a physical or behavioral change. |
| Response | - an action or movement due to the application of a stimulus |
| Development | - a biological science that is primarily concerned with how a living thing grows and attains maturity |
| Asexual reproduction | - generates offspring that are genetically identical to a single parent |
| Sexual reproduction diagram | - a mode of reproduction involving the fusion of haploid female gamete (egg cell) and haploid male gamete (sperm cell) |
| Spontaneous generation characteristics | - the hypothetical process by which living organisms develop from nonliving matter |
| Autotroph evolution | - an organism that can produce its own food using light, water, carbon dioxide, or other chemicals |
| Heterotroph | - an organism that eats other plants or animals for energy and nutrients |
| Classification | - the action or process of classifying something according to shared qualities or characteristics |
| Taxonomy | - the branch of science concerned with classification, especially of organisms; systematic |
| Binomial nomenclature | - the system of nomenclature in which two terms are used to denote a species of living organism, the first one indicating the genus and the second the specific epithet |
| Genus | - a class, kind, or group marked by common characteristics or by one common characteristic |
| Species | - a group of organisms that can reproduce with one another in nature and produce fertile offspring |
| Prokaryote | - organisms whose cells lack a nucleus and other organelles |
| Eukaryote | - organisms whose cells contain a nucleus and other membrane-bound organelles |
| Nucleus | - the central and most important part of an object, movement, or group, forming the basis for its activity and growth |
| Evolution | - the change in the characteristics of a species over several generations and relies on the process of natural selection |
| Branching tree program | - A branching identification key where the structure of the decision tree is displayed graphically as a branching structure, involving lines between items |
| Shared derived characteristics | - one that two lineages have in common |
| Convergent evolution | - the process whereby distantly related organisms independently evolve similar traits to adapt to similar necessities |
