DETAILED SOLUTIONS GRADED A+
⩥ reproduction.
Answer: all organisms reproduce their own kind.
⩥ growth and development.
Answer: information carried by genes controls the pattern of growth in
all organisms.
⩥ energy use.
Answer: every organism takes in energy, converts it to useful forms, and
expels energy. Ex. elephant; an elephant is taking in energy by eating a
plant. it can use the energy to move. it also releases energy as heat.
⩥ order.
Answer: each living thing has a complex but well-organized structure.
⩥ cells.
Answer: all living organisms consist of cells. some living organisms
have just one cell, but others have trillions.
,⩥ response to the environment.
Answer: all organisms respond to changes in the environment. many of
these responses help to keep an organism's internal environment within
narrow limits even when the external environment changes a lot. Ex.
elephant: an elephant is responding to the heat of the day by taking a
bath, which helps keep its body temperature steady.
⩥ evolution.
Answer: individuals with traits that help them survive and reproduce
pass the genes for those traits to offspring. over many generations, such
adaptations drive the evolution of populations. Ex. modern elephants and
woolly mammoths evolved from a common ancestor species that lived
until about 5 million years ago.
⩥ The levels of biological organization.
Answer: biosphere, ecosystem, community, population, organism, organ
system, organ, tissue, cell, organelle, molecule, atom
⩥ Biosphere.
Answer: consists of all life on Earth and all of the environments that
support of life, from the deepest oceans to high in the atmosphere.
⩥ Ecosystem.
,Answer: includes all the living organisms in one particular area as well
as the nonliving components that affect life, such as soil, air, and
sunlight.
⩥ Community.
Answer: consists of all the interacting populations of organisms
occupying an ecosystem. includes plants, animals, and even microscopic
organisms.
⩥ Population.
Answer: a group of interacting individuals of one species.
⩥ Organism.
Answer: an individual living being
⩥ Organ System.
Answer: a group of organs that work together to perform a vital body
function.
⩥ Organ.
Answer: consists of multiple tissues that cooperate to perform a specific
task. a part of an organism that is typically self-contained and has a
specific vital function.
, ⩥ Tissue.
Answer: an integrated group of similar cells that work together to
perform a specific function.
⩥ Cell.
Answer: the fundamental unit of life. the smallest structural and
functional unit of an organism. microscopic and consisting of cytoplasm
and a nucleus enclosed in a membrane.
⩥ Organelle.
Answer: a component of the cell that performs a specific function.
within the cell.
⩥ Molecule.
Answer: a group of atoms bonded together.
⩥ Atom.
Answer: the fundamental unit of matter. it is the smallest unit of an
element capable of displaying the properties of that element. made up of
even smaller unites called subatomic particles.
⩥ Scientific Method.
Answer: involving the observation of phenomena, the formulation of a
hypothesis concerning the phenomena, experimentation to demonstrate
