Chars of Living Things
This characteristic of life helps organisms make new organisms.
This is described as making more or bigger cells
growth
This is needed by organisms for sleeping, thinking, eating, and moving.
energy
What is another way to state homeostasis
Maintain stable internal conditions balance
This scientist had the process of steam-sterilizing milk named after him.
Louis Pasteur
When a tadpole becomes a frog, it is showing this characteristic of life.
Development (not the same as growth, BUT if written together, will accept growth & development)
These "little organs" of a cell perform different functions
organelles
This is the process by which an organisms creates more of the species
reproduction
This is something that causes an organism to respond
a stimulus (plural = stimuli)
Francesco Redi changed this variable to help disprove the theory of spontaneous generation.
He covered his jars of meat
This characteristic of life is seen when an organism poops.
eliminate waste
If an organism is made of many cells, it is this.
multicellular
This is how unicellular organisms reproduce.
asexual reproduction
Your body regulates its temperature by doing this.
Shivering, sweating, or changing blood flow
What was similar about the research of Lazzaro Spallanzani and Louis Pasteur in their efforts to disprove spontaneous generation?
Both performed experiments with broth in special flasks.
A _____ is the smallest unit of life.
cell
Growth in multicellular organisms is mostly due to an increase in the _______ of cells.
number
This is one of the four macromolecules used for energy in organisms.
lipid (fat), carbohydrate, protein, or nucleic acid
When homeostasis is not maintained, this can happen to the organism.
The organism gets sick (disease) or dies
Argued that microbes arose spontaneously in broth from a “life force.”
John Needham
This is sometimes mistaken as a characteristic of life, but all organisms do not require this - this "thing" is a need of many living things, but not all.
oxygen
When a unicellular organism grows, the organism simply does this
gets larger
All energy on earth comes from this.
the Sun
This is another word for a reaction to a stimulus
A response
Pasteur's experiment was considered better than Spallanzani's experiment because of this.
Pasteur's flasks let air reach the broth, but prevented bacteria from falling inside
