How does the respiratory, circulatory, and digestive System give humans nourishment.
The Respiratory breathes in oxygen and exhales carbon dioxide. The circulatory system carries oxygen around the body to the cells. The digestive system breaks down food and gets rid of waste.
Various forms of the same gene.
What is the difference between natural and artificial selection?
Natural Selection- Nature chooses best traits to survive
Artificial Selection- Humans choose the most desirable traits to reproduce
What do physical and chemical properties describe?

Chemical: describes Flammability, combustibility, malleability
(answers may be different)
What are the six characteristics of life?
Maintaining homeostasis, responds to stimuli, growth and development, uses energy, reproduces, and is organized.
How does the skeletal, muscular, and nervous system help us move?
Bones attach to one another through muscles and the nervous system tells us when to move. Muscles control the movement.

What is the major function of the digestive system?
To break down food to give our bodies energy and get rid of solid waste.
Define the four forms of asexual reproduction.
1. Mitosis - the splitting of a cell into two new identical cells. They have a nucleus.
2. Binary Fission - The splitting of a cell into two that don't have a nucleus.
3. Regeneration - Regrowing of a lost limb or body part by reproducing cells with the same genetic information.
4. Budding - forming a mass of cells near the bottom half of the organism. It eventually breaks off forming a new identical organism.
