vocabulary 1
the study of living things.
what is biology?
compounds are a combination of two or more elements.
what are compounds?
its any living thing.
what is an organism?
Organisms often respond to change in their environment. The change that occurs is called the stimulus. The way an organism reacts to the stimulus is the response.
how do organisms often change the environment?
Chemicals in the environment, temperature, and amount of light can also cause an organism to respond. A plant will respond to a source of light by growing toward the light.
how do plants respond to light?
A few kinds of organisms, such as bacteria, are unicellular. These organisms carry out all of the important life functions using only one cell. They do not have specialized cells.
what are other kinds of bacteria?
All living things grow at some time in their life . In most organisms, the fastest occurs in the first part of their life.
how do other living things get older?
Liquids are fats and oils. They are made up mostly of carbon and hydrogen. They are used to store energy.
what are liquids?
When you eat, your body uses nutrients in the food to survive. Nutrients provide your body with energy.
what is nutrients?
Sometimes an organism helps itself to survive by responding to a stimulus. For example, if an octopus senses danger, it may respond by releasing Inc. The ink clouds the water and allows octopus to escape. A frilled lizard will respond to predators by expanding flaps of skin around its neck. Other animals respond by changing colors, releasing chemicals, or making noise.
how do organisms help itself survive?
a stimulus is a change in the environment that causes a response.
what is a stimulus?
Its something that has more than one cell.
what is a multicellular?
the basic unit of structure and function in all living things.
what is a cell
the way organisms make more of their own kind.
what is reproduction?
the ability to do work and cause change
.what is energy?
The main types of compounds in living things are carbohydrates, lipids, proteins, and nucleic acids.
what are the main types of compounds.
Its about having one cell.
what is unicellular?
Proteins are very complex molecules. Proteins take part in mini chemical reactions.they also help build and repair living cells.
what are proteins?
Nucleic acids are molecules that contain information about the characteristics of an organism. They also play a role in the production of proteins
what are nucleic?
The environment is all the things around you. Your home, your school, the sky, the soil, and many organisms are all part of your environment. All organisms respond to the things in their environment.
what is environment?
Atoms are the smallest part of an element that can be identified as a element.
what are atoms?
a new organism produced by a living thing.
what is a offspring?
the process by which organism keep their internal conditions relatively stable.
what is homeostasis?
they are the smallest part of a compound.
what are molecules?
carbohydrates are made up of carbon,hydrogen,oxygen also they provide energy for living things.
what is carbohydrates?
