| systems biology | aims to model dynamic behavior of whole biological systems |
| prokaryotic cell | a type of cell lacking a membrane-enclosed nucleus and other membrane-enclosed organelles; found only in the domains Bacteria and Archaea |
| organism | individual living thing |
| genes | units of inheritance that transmit information from parents to offspring |
| species | term used for particular type of organism |
| tissues | specific function made up of similar cells |
| hypothesis | A tentative explanation a scientist proposes for a specific phenomenon that has been observed. |
| organs | (brain) |
| theory | A widely accepted explanatory idea that is broad in scope and supported by a large body of evidence. |
| ecosystem | organisms living in a particular area (as well as nonliving) |
| community | organisms inhabiting a particular ecosystem |
| consumers | eat plants and other animals |

| natural selection | A process in which organisms with certain inherited characteristics are more likely to survive and reproduce than are organisms with other characteristics. |
| organ system | several organs that work together |
| cells | separated from environment by boundary called membrane |
| emergent properties | the whole result from the specific arrangement and interactions of the component part |
| organelle | membrane-bound structure performs specific function in cell. |
| technology | The practical application of scientific knowledge. |
| biosphere | environments on earth that support life (land, water, low atmosphere) |
| producers | provide food for typical ecosystems |
| molecule | cluster of atoms held together by chemical bonds |
| domain | A taxonomic category above the kingdom level. The three domains of life are Archaea, Bacteria, and Eukarya |
