Characteristics of Living Things
When one organism responds to environmental stimuli once.
What is a response?
A change in size.
What is growth?
Structures within cells
What are organelles?
Living things can spontaneously arise from non-living things.
What is a theory?
Numerical data, for example, the number of children in a family and the height of each child.
What is quantitative data?
Viruses can spillover to be able to infect a new species because of this
What is their DNA mutates?
A change in shape or form.
What is development?
What is an ecosystem?
Smallpox was eradicated in 1980.
What is a fact?
A variable in an experiment that changes as a result of another variable changing
What is the Dependent Variable?
When an entire population of organisms responds to a long term change in the environment.
What is adaptation?

What is reproduction?
Many species of living things in one area
What is a community?
The force of gravity is caused by the curvature of space and time.
What is a theory?

What is an independent variable?
The chemical reactions and processes that occur within a living organism to obtain or use energy.
What is metabolism?
The theory that living things come from living things.
What is biogenesis?
Multiple tissues working together to perform a function
What is an organ?
Objects attract each other with a force that is proportional to the product of their masses divided by the square of the distance between them.
What is a law?
An experiment is used to test this type of statement to determine if results support it or not.
What is the Hypothesis?
A state of maintained internal physical and chemical stability and balance.
What is homeostasis?
The passing of traits from parent to offspring.
What is heredity?
Multiple atoms connected by chemical bonds
What are molecules?
In a closed system, matter and energy can change forms, but cannot be created or destroyed.
What is a law?
A component in an experiment used for comparison that does not include the independent variable
What is the Control?
