Biology= the science of life
organism= a living thing
cell= basic unit of life
unicellular= made up of one cell
multicellular= made up of multiple cells
homeostasis= balance
reproduction= producing more new organisms
DNA= large molecule that contains genetic information
gene= a short segment of DNA that contains information for your traits
2 Type of Reproduction:
1. sexual -> requires someone else
2. asexual -> do not need someone else
evolve= change
ecology= the interactions of organisms with one another and their environment
ecosystems= environmental communities
photosynthesis= plants make food and energy
autotrophs= produce their own food; plants
heterotrophs= eat food produced by autotrophs
Characteristics of living things:
1. cells= made up of cells
2. highly organized at both the molecular and cellular levels
3. energy (metabolism)
4. homeostasis= maintain stable conditions inside the body
5. grow
*cell division (mitosis)
*formation of 2 new cells from one cell
*development -> child -> adult
kidney - glomerulus, macula densa cells
English: Cycle between autotrophs and heterotrophs...
Three types of cell division: binary fision (takin...6. reproduction= form new organisms
