200
The process green plants and some other organisms use the energy of the sunlight and simple chemicals to produce their own food?
What is the photosynthesis?

This animal is an __________, which means it lacks and internal mechanism for regulating body heat.
What is an Ectotherm?
300
Special structures that allow living organisms to sense the conditions of their internal and external environment.
What is a receptor?
300
The process by which physical and biological characteristics are transmitted from the parent (or parents) to the offspring.
What is an Inheritance?
400
This process describes how cells maintain internal stability.
What is homeostasis?
400
True or False: All multicellular organisms carry the same function.

Give an example of homeostasis in humans.
What is sweating to cool down?
400
True or False: a boulder responding to its enviorment by rolling off a cliff, due to the wind, is a living thing.
What is False?
It may respond, but it is not living, it cannot sense a change in surroundings.
