Term
| What are the 7 properties of life? |
|
Definition
| Order, Evolutionary Adaptation, Response to the environment, Regulation, Energy Processing, Growth and Development, Reproduction. |

|
Term
| What are the differnt levels of biological organization from biggest to smallest? |
|
Definition
| The biosphere, Exosystems, Communities, Populations, Organisms, Organs and organ systems, Tissues, Cells, Organelles, and lastly Molecules |
|
|
Term
| Define the level "The Biosphere" |
|
Definition
| The areas on, in, around, above and below the earth which organisms live. |
|
|
Term
| Define the level "Ecosystems" |
|
Definition
| A particular area where distingushable species and the abiotic compenents interact. |
|
|
Term

|
Term
| Define the level "Organisms" |

|
Term
| Define the level "Organs and organ systems" |

|
Term
|
Definition
| The smallest unit of biological organisation that biologists consider alive. All true cells are surrounded by a plasma membrane, carry out complex chemical reactions, and are at least potentially capable of self reproduction. Cells come in a wide variety of shapes and sizes. Not all cells have a nucleus, but again all true cells have genetic material in the form of DNA. |
|
|
Term
| Define the level "Organelles" |
|
Definition
| AKA "Little Organ". The specialized structures in a cell, and often the line between organelles and molecules is not clear. |
|
|
Term
| Define the level "Molecules" |
|
Definition
| A chemical structure which two or more atoms make up. Many molecules make up organelles. |
