Term 38 of 199
What is development?

The ability to sense and react to stimuli (changes in the environment) is called
responsiveness or excitability. Most organisms should be capable of self propelled
movement from place to place.

All living organisms can produce copies of themselves, thus passing their genes on to new,
younger containers—their offspring.

A molecule is a particle composed of at least two atoms that work together to perform a
function.

Development is any change in form or function over the lifetime of the organism.
There is 2 main processes in most organisms, differentiation and growth.
