After water the this is the next most abundant material in cells

What are proteins

100

This has the instructions for making proteins, as well as the Heredity material for the organism

What is DNA

100

This provides everything we need such as food, water, air, sunlight, mates, and shelter

What is Space

100

These store energy and some form the cell membrane of cells

What are Lipids

200

These are the subunits of proteins

What are Amino Acids

200

When organsims react to stimulus

What is their Response to Stimuli

200

All chemical reactions take place in this, this makes up 70% of a cell, and Humans can only survive 3 days without this

What is water

200

These lipids form most of the cell membrane

What are phospholipids

300

These are the 6 most common elements in living things

What are Carbon, Hydrogen, Oxygen, Nitrogen, Phosphorus, and Sulfur

300

The process of humans excreting carbon dioxide and urine, this is also toxic to the organism

What is Excreting Waste

300

This is a source of energy, this is also a source of raw materials which are used to to make or repair cells

What is food

300

This is what helps organisms maintain a stable internal balance

What is Homeostasis

400

This is a major fuel or energy organisms use for all cell activities

What is ATP 

400

These are the two types of Reproduction

What are Asexual Reproduction, and Sexual Reproduction

400

This is Carbon Dioxide for plants, and Oxygen for animals

What is air

400

This is the process that uses food to produce energy or use energy to form a new product

What is metabolism

500

These are Carbohydrates made up of hundreds of sugar molecules linked together

What is a Complex Carbohydrate

500

Organisms need this to carry out all life activities, Organsims use this to build cells and break down food, Plants need this to make glucose (food), and Animals obtains this through consumption (eating)

What is Energy

500

This provides protections from the elements

What is shelter

500

These are organisms made of many cells

What are Multicellular Cells
