Organisms have more then one ______ to increase survival rate for the future population.
Offspring
(systematics) the science of the classification of living things. Includes naming of groups of organisms and organizing groups of organisms into meaningful categories.
Taxonomy
What is energy conversion.
Transferring one energy to another.
Where an organism try's to get their fair share of a limited amount of resources.
Competition
Evolutionary relationship
Phylogenetic
The process by which radiant energy from the Sun is converted into chemical energy. In the chloroplast of plant cells carbon dioxide and water are converted into oxygen and glucose.
photosynthesis
The process whereby organisms that have advantages survive and pass their genes onto their offspring.
Natural Selection
Binomial Naming system
Genus and species name
energy carried by light; sometimes called light energy; energy from the Sun; all energy begins with the Sum.
Radiant Energy

finches beaks and tortoise shells
How is species defined for sexually reproducing organisms?
prokaryotic species is a group of closely related organisms that can interbreed.
potential energy stored in the cell; glucose is a form of this type of energy.
Chemical Energy
What is the definition of evolution.
A theory supported by evidence for how population change over time.
smaller groups are nested within larger groups for organization.
hierarchical classification
Process that releases energy by breaking down glucose and other food molecules in the presence of oxygen.
cellular respiration
