Introduction to General Biology

________: organism produces offspring virtually identical to itself.

________: all of the chemical reactions that occur inside your cells.

Sexual: ________ from 2 individuals unites to form new third individual.

________: extract energy and nutrients from nonliving environment.

________ extract energy and nutrients from the nonliving environment.

________ (most complex): our planet earth- interactions between all ecosystems.

________: state of internal constancy or equilibrium (things can happen that disrupt your ________)

________ are consumers that obtain nutrients from dead organisms and organic wastes.

________: the interaction between all species in an area.

________: eat other organisms for nutrients.

________: all of the living and nonliving interactions in an area.

________: a collective group in a particular area of the same species.

________ (cell division) is occurring all the time in our body: mainly used for cell renewal and repair; constantly making new cells.

________ obtain energy by eating other organisms.

________: a combination of different atoms forming a larger structure- can be put together in a wide variety of complexities.

________ (least complex): form the foundation- when they start interacting with each other they form the next level of organization.

________: energy is constantly lost as it travels through the atoms and molecules that make us up; process of energy lost.

________: made up of thousands of organelles- not all ________ have the same composition of organelles- grouping of different organelles together to form that self sustaining unit that can reproduce.

________: obtain energy from wastes or dead organisms.

________ are the smallest unit of life that can function independently (if given the right environment)

small structures that have a specific role of function in the cell

different combinations of cells forms different types of tissues

different combinations of tissues

combine organs to create an organ system

multiple organ systems working together to form a whole living unit

a collective group in a particular area of the same species

the interaction between all species in an area

all of the living and nonliving interactions in an area

all of the chemical reactions that occur inside your cells

energy is constantly lost as it travels through the atoms and molecules that make us up; process of energy lost

extract energy and nutrients from nonliving environment

eat other organisms for nutrients

obtain energy from wastes or dead organisms

state of internal constancy or equilibrium (things can happen that disrupt your homeostasis)

organism produces offspring virtually identical to itself

genetic material from 2 individuals unites to form new third individual

mainly used for cell renewal and repair; constantly making new cells

environments are changing so fast, species dont have time to adapt and survive -> causes ecosystems to collapse
