Characteristics of Life
This is the ability of organisms to respond to changes in their environment.
What is "response to stimuli"?
This organelle is responsible for producing energy in the form of ATP for the cell.
What is the "mitochondrion"?
This system is responsible for pumping blood throughout the body.
What is the "circulatory system"?
This naturalist is known for developing the theory of evolution by natural selection.
Who is "Charles Darwin"?
This is the broadest level of classification, which groups organisms based on shared characteristics.
What is "domain"?
All living organisms are made up of this basic unit of life.
What is a "cell"?
This structure surrounds the cell and controls what enters and exits.
What is the "cell membrane"?
This organ is responsible for filtering waste from the blood and producing urine.
What is the "kidney"?
The process by which organisms with traits better suited to their environment tend to survive and reproduce is called this.
What is "natural selection"?
This two-part naming system, created by Carl Linnaeus, is used to identify species.
What is "binomial nomenclature"?
This characteristic involves the process by which living things produce offspring.
What is "reproduction"?
This process is how plants use sunlight to make food.
What is "photosynthesis"?
These bones protect the brain and are located in the head.
What is the "skull"?
This is the term for a species that no longer exists anywhere on Earth.
What is an "extinct species"?
This kingdom includes organisms that are unicellular, often live in extreme environments, and lack a nucleus.
What is the "Archaea" kingdom?
The process by which living organisms obtain and use energy is known as this.
What is "metabolism"?
This organelle is known as the "control center" of the cell and contains the genetic material.
What is the "nucleus"?
This system allows the body to move and works with the skeletal system.
What is the "muscular system"?
This term describes a trait or feature that helps an organism survive and reproduce in its environment.
What is an "adaptation"?
This is the second part of an organism's scientific name in binomial nomenclature, which specifies the species.
What is the "species" name?
Organisms maintain stable internal conditions, such as temperature and water balance, through this process.
What is "homeostasis"?
This process allows cells to divide and create two identical daughter cells.
What is "mitosis"?
This system is responsible for defending the body against harmful invaders like bacteria and viruses.
What is the "immune system"?
This term refers to the gradual change in a species over time, where small genetic variations accumulate and lead to the formation of a new species.
What is "evolution"?
This kingdom is made up of multicellular organisms that obtain food by eating other organisms, and organisms like mammals and birds.
What is the "Animalia" kingdom?
