| Biology | The study of life |
| Organism | term for all living things |
| Spontaneous generation | a belief that life begins when a force enters a nonliving thing |
| Spontaneous generation was proven _______________________ | Wrong |
| Biogenesis | A principal that all life comes only from life |
| Biogenesis was proven ______________ | Right |
| Francesco Redi Experiment | Do maggots emerge from a force entering the meat or from flies? |
| Meat in open jar | Maggots appeared |
| Meat in sealed jar | Maggots did not appear (flies could not enter the jar) |
| Meat in jar with cloth | Maggots did not appear - a theoretical force could enter the meat but flies could not enter |
| Reid's experiment supported _______________ | Biogenesis |
| 5 characteristics of all living things | Organization, Energy, Growth/development, reproduction, Response/ adaption |
| Organization | Living things are highly organized |
| Energy | Organisms take I energy from the environment and use it for their life processes |
| Growth/development | increase in size/ change in shape or form |
| Reproduction | The process through which new living thing are formed |
| Response/ adaption | respond to environmental stimuli/ population of organisms respond to long term changes in their surroundings |
| Organization of life | Atom/ molecule, cell, tissue, organ, organ system, individual/organism, population, community, ecosystem, biosphere |
| preditor | an organism that kills and eats another organism |
| Pray | An organism that gets killed and eaten |
| symbiosis | relationships in which different species depend on each other |
| Mutualism | Both partners benefit from the relationship ex: Flower and bee |
| Commensalism | One partner benefits and the other partner is unaffected ex: Cow and bird |
| Parasitism | one partner benefits from the relationship while the other is harmed |
| Atom / molecule | Basic unit of a chemical element and 1 or more atoms bonded together |
