Levels of Organization
What is the smallest unit of life?
Cell
The process by which living things make more of their own kind.
Reproduction
The genetic material found in all living organisms is called:
DNA
This type of heat transfer occurs through direct contact between particles of matter.
Conduction
A group of similar cells working together is called this.
Tissue
The increase in size and complexity of an organism over time.
Growth and development
A plant begins as a seed and adds new cells.. this is called:
growth and development
Substances that cool down and heat up quickly
Conductors
Different tissues working together is called:
An organ
The ability to detect and respond to changes in the environment.
Responding to stimuli
The process by which species change over time to better suit their environment.
Adaptation or Evolution
This circulation of warm air rising and cool air sinking is an example of which heat transfer?
Convection
Multiple organs working together:
System
The maintenance of a stable internal environment in an organism.
Homeostasis
A dog smells food and begins to produce extra saliva that will help it digest the food. This is called:
Respond to stimuli
Thermos uses this to prevent heat transfer
- Double layer separated by an empty space
Multiple organ systems working together form an:
Bacteria developing new species that can resist antibiotics is called:
Evolution (Adapt to their environment and evolve over time)
You sweat when it is hot so that you can maintain a safe body temperature. This is called:
Homeostasis
In cold weather, these form when warm, moist air inside meets a cold window surface.
Condensation
