Answer: The composition of a cell (eg. Nucleus, Cell Membrane,
Chloroplasts, etc.)
◍ 5 Themes in Book.
Answer: -organiziation-information-matter&energy-evolution
◍ Taxonomy.
Answer: the naming and classification of organisms
◍ What is Ordered Complexity?.
Answer: All living things are both complex and highly ordered.
◍ Species.
Answer: type of organism
◍ What is Sensitivity.
Answer: Living organisms respond to stimuli.
◍ What is Growth, Development and Reproduction?.
Answer: All organisms are capable of growing and reproducing, and they all
possess hereditary molecules that are passed to their offspring, ensuring that
the offspring are of the same species.
◍ What is Energy Utilization?.
Answer: All organisms take in every and use it to perform many kinds of
, work. every muscle in your body is powered with energy you obtain from
the food you eat.
◍ What is Homeostasis?.
Answer: All organisms maintain relatively constant internal conditions that
are different from their environment
◍ What is Evolutionary Adaptation?.
Answer: All organisms interact with other organisms and the nonliving
environment in ways that influence their survival and as a consequence
organisms evolve adaptations to their environment.

Answer: 1) Testing the hypothesis2) Only testing one variable at a time3)
Has a test experiment and a control experiment
◍ Morphological Species Concept.
Answer: external form

Answer: A body of interconnected concepts that is supported by much
experimental evidence and scientific reasoning. Not a guess.
◍ Biological Species Concept.
Answer: organisms will interbreed and produce normal, fertile offspring that
can survive
◍ What are the three elements of "Cell Theory?".
Answer: 1) All organisms are composed of cells2) Cells are the basic unit of
all living organisms3) All cells come from preexisting cells

Answer: A discrete unit of information
,◍ What is a Genome?.
Answer: An entire set of DNA instructions
◍ Systematics.
Answer: subfield in biology; study of evolutionary relationships
◍ How does DNA help sustain the continuity of life?.
Answer: The continuity of life depends on DNA faithfully copying itself
