▶ Filtration. Answer: The movement of water and solutes through the
membrane by fluids or hydrostatic pressure.
▶ Natural Selection. Answer: Variations that give individuals an advantage
in the struggle for survival
▶ Adaptation. Answer: The individuals best suited to their environment
survive and pass on those traits to their offspring.
▶ Fossil Record. Answer: information about past life, including the
structure of organisms, what they ate, what ate them, in what environment
they lived, and the order in which they lived
▶ vertebrates. Answer: animals with backbones
▶ biogeography. Answer: the geographical distribution of plants and
animals
▶ comparative anatomy. Answer: the comparasion of organisms structure
▶ Evolution. Answer: Change in a kind of organism over time; process by
which modern organisms have descended from ancient organisms.
▶ Molecular biology. Answer: Biology at the molecular level.
▶ Taxonomy. Answer: The study of scientific classification
▶ kingdoms. Answer: Classifications of Living things.

nucleus and organelles surrounded by a cell membrane, and surrounding
that is a cell wall. The stidy of fungi is mycology
▶ Algae. Answer: May be microscopic or extremely large. May be single or
multicellular, contains a nucleus. The study of algae is phycology.
▶ Autotrophs. Answer: Organisms that produce their own food from
inorganic substances.
▶ Heterotrophs. Answer: Obtain their food by consuming plants or other
animals
▶ Primary consumers. Answer: May be Herbivores or Omnivores
