| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| organism | a living thing |
| cell | that basic unit of structure and function in living things. |
| unicellular | made of a single cell. |
| multicellular | consisting of many cells. |
| metabolism | the combination of chemical reactions through with an organism builds up or breaks down materials. |
| stimulus | any change or signal in the environment that can make an organism react in some way. |
| response | an action or change in behavior that occurs as a result of a stimulus. |
| development | The process of change that occurs during an organism's life to produce a more complex organism. |
| asexual reproduction | A reproductive process that involves only one parent and produces offspring that are genetically identical to the parent. |
| sexual reproduction | A reproductive process that involves two parents that combine there genetic material to produce a new organism which differs from both parents. |
| spontaneous generation | The mistaken idea that living things arise from nonliving sources |
| controlled experiment | An experiment in which only one variable is manipulated at a time. |
| autotroph | An organism that is able to capture energy from sunlight or chemicals and use it to produce it's own food. |
| heterotroph | An organism that cannot make it's own food and gets food by consuming other living things. |
| homeostasis | The condition in which an organism's internal environment is kept stable in spite of changes in the external environment. |
| classification | The process of grouping things based off there similarities. |
| taxonomy | the scientific study of how living things are classified. |

| binomial nomenclature | the classification system in which each organism is given a unique two-part scientific name indicating it's genus species. |
| genus | a classification grouping that consists of a number of similar closely related species. |
| species | a group of similar organism that can mate with each other and reproduce offspring that can also mate and reproduce. |
| prokaryote | A unicellular organism that lacks a nucleus and some other cell structures. |
| nucleus | The central cord of an atom which contains protons and neutrons. |
| eukaryote | An organism whose cells contain a nucleus |
