Both Organism And Environment Are Affected By The Interactions Between Them

37
Q

Response To The Environment

A

Response To The Environment
Every Organism Interacts With It’s Environment
Both Organism And Environment Are Affected By The Interactions Between Them

38
Q

Genetic Code

A

Cells Contain Chromosomes Made Partly Of Dna The Substance Of Genes
DNA Programs The Cells Production Of Proteins That Transmits Information From Parents to OffSpring

39
Q

DNA

A

A Molecular Structure OF DNA Accounts For It Information Rich Nature Deoxyribonucleic acid, a self-replicating material present in nearly all living organisms as the main constituent of chromosomes It is the carrier of genetic information

Q

Regulation And HomeoStasis

A

MainTain A Stable Environment
All Organsims Expend Energy To MainTain A Consisten Internal Environment Regardless Of Changes In External Conditions This Process Is Called HomeoStasis

41
Q

Metabolism Energy Conversion

A

The Activities Of Life Require Organisms To Perform Work Which Depends On An Energy Source
Energy Flows From SunLight To Producers To Consumers
The Exchange Of Energy Between An Organism And It’s Surroundings Often Involves The Transformation Of One Form Of Energy To Another
Energy Flows Through An EcoSystem Usually Entering As SunLight And Exiting As Heat
All Living Things Begin As A Single Cell Which Grows And Develops Sometimes Multiplying And Differenciating Into A MultiCellular Individual That May Continue Throughout It’s LifeTime
All Organisms Produce New Similar Organisms In A Process Called Reproduction Some Organisms Produce Sexually Others Produce ASexually
