Living things grow and develop.
Living things reproduce.
Living things respond to their environment.
Living things adapt to their environment. |
2. homeostasis | Property of a system in which variables are regulated so that internal conditions remain stable and relatively constant. |
3. metabolize | (Of a body or organ) process (a substance) by metabolism. |
4. evolve | to change or develop slowly often into a better, more complex, or more advanced state : to develop by a process of evolution |
5. multicellular | Multicellular organisms are organisms that consist of more than one cell, in contrast to unicellular organisms. |
6. single cellular | With only one cell orginism |
7. cytoplasm | The material or protoplasm within a living cell, excluding the nucleus. |
8. cell membrane | Cell membrane protective out layering around all cells. |
9. nucleus | Nucleus directs all cell activities |
10. endoplasmic reticulum | Series of rough or smooth membranes that move materials around a cell |
11. ribosomes | Make protein |
12. mitochodria | Releases energy stored in food |
13. chloroplast | Contains chlorophyll |
14. cell wall | A rigid layer of polysaccharides lying outside the plasma membrane of the cells of plants, fungi, and bacteria. In the algae and higher plants, it consists mainly of cellulose. |
15. vacuole | Stores water, waste products, food, and other cellular materials |
16. golgi bodies | Packages substances and moves them within or outside the cell |
17. lysosome | Break down food molecules, cell wastes, and worn-out cell parts |
18. organism | An individual animal, plant, or single-celled life form. |
19. organ systems | Group of organs that work together to perform one or more functions. |
20. organs | A part of an organism that is typically self-contained and has a specific vital function, such as the heart or liver in humans. |
21. atoms | The basic unit of a chemical element. |
22. cells | The smallest structural and functional unit of an organism, typically microscopic and consisting of cytoplasm and a nucleus enclosed in a membrane. |
23. tissue | Any of the distinct types of material of which animals or plants are made, consisting of specialized cells and their products. |
photosynthesis | is a process used by plants and other organisms to convert light energy, normally from the Sun, into chemical energy that can be later released to fuel the organisms' activities (energy transformation). |
resperation | The physiological definition of respiration should not be confused with the biochemical definition of respiration, which refers to cellular respiration: the metabolic process by which an organism obtains energy by reacting oxygen with glucose to give wate |
atp | Biochemistry. adenosine triphosphate: an ester of adenosine and triphosphoric acid, C 10 H 12 N 5 O 4 H 4 P 3 O 9 , formed especially aerobically by the reaction of ADP and an orthophosphate during oxidation, or by the interaction of ADP and phosphocreati |
chloroplast | (in green plant cells) a plastid that contains chlorophyll and in which photosynthesis takes place. |
mitochondria | an organelle found in large numbers in most cells, in which the biochemical processes of respiration and energy production occur. It has a double membrane, the inner layer being folded inward to form layers (cristae). |
reactants | a substance that takes part in and undergoes change during a reaction. |
products | an article or substance that is manufactured or refined for sale. |
asexual | Having no evident sex or sex organs |
sexual | reproduction involving the union of gametes. |
