Organism - An individual living creature Characteristics of a living thing - (1) Order (2) Evolutionary Adaptation (3) Regulation (4)Energy Processing (5)Growth and Development (6) Response to Environment (7)Reproduction Cell - Basic unit of life order - is the taxonomic rank used in the classification of organisms Example: Sun Flower- Seeds and Leaves evolutionary adaptation - Is smaller genetic changes that allow for better survival. (Cold Climate- Animal grows more Fur) regulation - Where optimal levels must be maintained to achieve homeostasis. When levels are not optimal the organism needs a regulatory process. ( Shivering when cold- Shivering creates heat) Energy Processing - Biochemical reactions that produce energy. The sum of those biochemical reactions are metabolism. Living organisms need energy= ATP. Plant traps light for photosynthesis Metabolism - The sum of biochemical reactions Growth and Development - All living things experience growth or change over their lifetime. (Grows, matures, ages, Dies) Response to Environment - Living things respond to their environment through adaptation. What is adaptation - a change or process that allows a organism to become better suited for their environment.
