Biology
Movement
: the act or process of moving people or things from one place or position to another
Organelles found in eukaryotic cells
Eukaryotic cells contain many membrane-bound organelles. An organelle is an organized and specialized structure within a living cell. The organelles include the nucleus, ribosomes, endoplasmic reticulum, Golgi apparatus, vacuoles, lysosomes, mitochondria, and, in plants, chloroplasts
characteristics of living things
Control, metabolism, reproduction, responsiveness, growth, education, evolution.
Membrane
cell membrane that keeps the pieces inside. When you think about a membrane, imagine it is like a big plastic bag with some tiny holes. That bag holds all of the cell pieces and fluids inside the cell and keeps any nasty things outside the cell. The holes are there to let some things move in and out of the cell.
• What Are the 7 Characteristics of Living Things?
o Living things have a complex, organized structure that consists largely of organic molecules. o Living things respond to stimuli from their environment. o Living things actively maintain their complex structure and their internal environment, a process called homeostasis. o Living things acquire and use materials and energy from their environment and convert them into different forms. o Living things grow. o Living things reproduce themselves, using a molecular blueprint called DNA. o Living things, as a whole, have the capacity to evolve.
Evolution
populations changing overtime evolution is a slow change in the genetic makeup of the population rather than an individual that enables it to survive in its environment
Complex, organize and structure
• The combination of components can form a more complex organization called a system. ° Examples of biological systems are cells, organisms, and ecosystems.
Adaptability
Adaptation for the physical address it's organismic all relatively long periods of time to change in in their environments.
The cell concept
All living organisms are composed of one or more cells. The cell is the basic unit of structure and organization in organisms. Cells come from preexisting cells.
Reproduce
An essential aspect of life cells go through binary fission tonproduce two identical daughter cells
Growth
Growth refers to a positive change in size, and/or maturation, often over a period of time. Growth can occur as a stage of ...
Heredity
Heredity is the passing of phenotypic traits from parents to their offspring, either through asexual reproduction or sexual reproduction. This is the process by which an offspring cell or organism acquires or becomes predisposed to the characteristics of its parent cell or organism.
Technique used to search for life on other planets
Jeff in and Paul Butler use indirect evidence of planets around the star to find new planets. Do use of telescope networks to find planets. Aracibo Observatory, the planned terrestrial planet finder,
maintain complex and organized structure
Living things actively maintain their complex structure and their internal environment, a process called homeostasis.
Cell
The most basic unit of life is the cell. The cell is composed of molecules of protein ,carbohydrates, lipids, and nucleic acid.
Response to stimuli
Living things respond to stimuli from their environment.
Control
Referred to the coordination of their bodily activities as well as the rregulation of their processes internal and external. Control referres to the fact that the metabolic Activitiese living things occure in sequence in at a specific rate.
Adaptation
Refers to the physical adjustments organisms make over relatively long periods of time to change and then environment
Cells
The basic unit if life
Internal organization
The cell itself is characterized by internal organization and in the case of multicellular organisms the organism possesses an overall internal organization
2 basic cell types prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells
The distinction is that eukaryotic cells have a "true" nucleus containing their DNA, whereas prokaryotic cells do not have a nucleus. Both eukaryotes and prokaryotes contain large RNA/protein structures called ribosomes, which produce protein.
metabolism
The sum of all chemical reactions that occur in an organism.
