What is the regulation of an organism's internal environment to maintain the conditions it needs to in order to survive.

Who is the scientist who experimented with spontaneous generation?
Who is Francesco Redi.

Give an example of how your body maintains internal conditions and what is this called?
What is sweating to keep a normal temperature and homeostasis.
200
What is the theory of spontaneous generation?
What is the theory that life comes from non-living things.
200
What was the conclusion that Francesco Redi reached after his experiment?
What is spontaneous generation does not occur.
300
How does a species or an individual "keep going" and why is this important?
What is reproduction and it is important to replace older members that die in order to keep the species going and pass on genetic information.

What is a stimulus?
What is anything in an organism's environment (internal or external) that causes the organism to react.

Explain Francesco Redi's experiment.
What is meat in a covered jar, meat in an uncovered jar, only get maggots on the uncovered jar - the maggots came from flies, which are living - living things come from other living things.

How are energy use and homeostasis related in living organisms?
What is if you don't have energy, you can't maintain the internal conditions you need to survive.
400
What is biogenesis?
What is living organisms only come from other living organisms!

In Francesco Redi's experiment, what was the control group and what was the experimental group?
What is control - uncovered, experimental - covered.

List the eight characteristics of life.
What is homeostasis, reproduction, energy use, composed of cells, growth/development, adaptation, evolution, DNA.
500
What is the difference between evolution and adaptation?
What is:
Adaptation is any behavior or structure inherited from previous generations that enables an organism to respond to environmental factors effectively and survive to produce offspring.
Evolution: the gradual change in a species through adaptations over time.

What is the difference between living and non-living organisms.
What is living organisms are made of cells and carry out specific life functions.
