| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Organism | any individual living system |
| Cell | the basic structural and functional unit of all living organisms |
| Unicellular | a living thing that is made up of only one cell |
| Multicellular | living thing made up of more than one cell with different types of specialized cells |
| Metabolism | the set of chemical reactions in your body that change food and drink into energy |
| Stimulus | anything that rouses an action, provokes a response, or encourages economic growth |
| response | a specific action, movement, or physiological change that an organism or cell makes when it detects a stimulus |
| Development | the series of structural, functional, and physiological changes an organism undergoes till it becomes a adult |
| aAsexual reproduction | a type of reproduction that creates offspring from a single parent without the fusion of gametes (sex cells) or a change in chromosome number |
| Sexual reproduction | a biological process where two parents combine their genetic material to create a genetically unique offspring |
| Spontaneous generation | the discarded scientific theory that living organisms can develop directly from nonliving matter |
| Autotroph | an organism that makes its own food using simple inorganic substances and an external energy source |
| Heterotroph | an organism that cannot make its own food and must get its energy and nutrients by consuming other living or dead organisms |
| Classification | the scientific process of grouping living and extinct organisms based on shared physical features and evolutionary history |
| Taxonomy | the science and practice of classifying, naming, and organizing things or living organisms into groups based on shared characteristics |
| Binomial nomenclature | a formal two-part naming system used in taxonomy to give every species a unique, universally recognized scientific name |
| Genus | a principal taxonomic rank used in the biological classification of living and fossil organisms, positioning itself directly above species and below family |
| Species | a group of individual organisms that can interbreed in nature to produce viable, fertile offspring |
| Prokaryote | a single-celled organism that does not have a distinct nucleus or other membrane-bound internal parts |
| Eukaryote | any organism whose cells contain a distinct, membrane-bound nucleus and other internal compartments called organelles |
| Nucleus | a central control structure, most commonly known as the membrane-enclosed organelle in eukaryotic cells that stores genetic material |
| Evolution | the change in inherited traits of living populations over successive generations |
| Branching tree diagram | a visual tool that starts with a single starting point and splits into multiple paths or categories, looking like the trunk and branches of a tree |
| Shared derived characteristics | new biological features shared by two or more groups of organisms and inherited from their most recent common ancestor |
| Convergent evolution | the biological process where unrelated or distantly related species independently evolve similar physical traits or behaviors because they live in similar environments or face identical ecological challenges |
