Characteristics of Life
Have complex, organized structure
Acquire materials and energy from environment
Maintain structure and internal environment (homeostasis)
Grow
Respond to stimuli (reflex and irritability)
Reproduce using DNA
Can evolve
Diabetes question
Pancreas
Insulin - lowers blood sugar
Glucagon - raises blood sugar
Properties of water
Temp of water rises and falls slowly (protects organisms from rapid temp changes) High boiling point Universal solvent Adhesive and cohesive molecules High surface tension Ice acts as an insulator
