| Term | Definition |
|---|---|
| Organism | any individual living system, such as a plant, animal, fungus, protist, bacterium, or archaeon. |
| Cell | The smallest structural and functional unit of all living organisms. |
| Unicellular | a living thing that is made up of only one cell. |
| Multicellular | multicellular organism is a living thing made up of more than one cell with different types of specialized cells, unlike single-celled |
| Metabolism | the set of chemical reactions in your body that change food and drink into energy. |
| Stimulus | an action or event that triggers a reaction |
| Response | a spoken, written, or physical reaction to a question, request, or external stimulus. |
| Development | the act, process, or result of growing, expanding, and changing into a more advanced, mature, or useful state |
| Asexual reproduction | a type of reproduction that creates new offspring from a single parent without combining sex cells or gametes. |
| Sexual reproduction diagram | a biological process where two parent organisms combine their genetic material to create a genetically unique offspring |
| Spontaneous generation charteristces | obsolete scientific theory that living organisms can develop directly from nonliving matter |
| Autotroph evolution | an organism that makes its own food using simple inorganic substances and an external energy source. |
| Heteroph | an organism that cannot make its own food and must get its energy and nutrients by consuming other living or dead organisms |
| Classiflcation | the process of arranging objects, data, or organisms into groups or categories based on shared characteristics. |
| Taxonomy | the branch of science concerned with naming, describing, and classifying living and extinct organisms into hierarchical groups based on shared characteristics and evolutionary relationships |
| Binomial nomenclature | Binomial nomenclature is a universal two-part naming system used in biology to give every species a unique scientific name. |
| Genus | taxonomic rank in biology that groups together closely related species. |
| species | the basic biological unit of classification grouping organisms that can potentially interbreed and produce fertile offspring. |
| Prokaryote | a single-celled organism that does not have a distinct nucleus or other membrane-bound parts. |
| Eukaryote | any organism whose cells contain a distinct, membrane-bound nucleus and other specialized, internal compartments called organelle |
| Nucleus | the membrane-enclosed command center of a eukaryotic cell. |
| Evolution | the change in the inherited traits of a biological population 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 physical or genetic characteristics that evolved in a recent common ancestor and are shared by its descendants. |
| Convergent evolution | The independent development of similar features or traits in unrelated or distantly related species due to similar environmental pressures or ecological niches. |
| Nomenclature | a systematic naming system or set of rules used to name things in a specific field. |
