Unicellular organism

multi cellular organism

all organisms have the ability to __ new organisms like themselves reproduction can occur__, requiring one parent, without sperm or egg or__, requiring one or two parents and fertilization of sperm and egg

All organisms come from reproduction of other organisms When organisms reproduce the offspring share its traits in the form or genes This deoxyribonucleic acid forms the genetic code that determines the inherited traits of everyday organisms on earth

Growth is the increase in size as a result of cell division and cell enlargement Unicellular organisms divide or split In half

Both plants and animals need energy to survive. Animals get there energy from other organisms. Plants use energy from the sun to create food

Homeostasis: hysiological system of higher animals, to maintain internal stability, owing to the coordinated response of its parts to any situation or stimulus tending to disturb its normal condition or function. Humans sweat to cool down the body. When we sweat we release water and when the water is evaporated it removes energy thus cooling our body down by removing the heat energy from around us.

All organisms react to changes in their environment in order to maintain a internal condition. This balance of conditions inside an organism is called

the population of an organism can evolve or change over time. An individual organism cannot change the traits they inherited from their parents. Organisms in a population adapt to their environment as the proportion of the individuals with genes for favorable traits increases
