What is diffusion?
300
Where an organism lives and how it interacts with it's environment

400
DNA at some point and a thin flexible membrane
What features do all cells have?
400
A species that causes dramatic change and increases biodiversity
What is a keystone species?
500
A factor, trait, or condition that can only be measured numerically (number of times/events/amounts) and relies on another variable to occur

What are mitochondria?
500
A relationship between two species in which one benefits and the other neither benefits or is hurt
