What is metabolism and why do living things need it?
Metabolism is how fast an organism burns the energy that it receives. This could be supplying energy for the cells or organs. It is important because it keeps the vital parts of an organism alive.

What does the claim do in a scientific argument?
The claim addresses the question about an event.
Explain how the CER acronym works.
For the Claim, you state what you believe. Your Evidence is factually information used to back up your claim. Your Reasoning is the justification of your Evidence, whether that is an in-depth explanation or a simple one.
Explain how cells eventually become organisms.
Multiple cells create tissues, multiple tissues create organs, multiple organs create organ systems, and multiple of those create an organism.
What are some examples of molecules?
Water, Salt, Carbon Dioxide (Made of multiple atoms held together through chemical bonds)
What is the definition of a cell?
A cell is the smallest thing that can support all of the normal functions of life.
What is programming in a living thing?
Programming is the processes and actions a living organism goes through as it lives. It is the code for the operations and procedures it needs to complete.
Why should you know how to complete a scientific argument?
Knowing how to complete a scientific argument is important because it is a very good way to confidently answer a question as it has many points to back it up.
What are some examples of nonliving things? Why are these considered nonliving?
Dirt, water, books, rocks, and computers are all examples of things that are nonliving. These are considered nonliving things because they don’t complete the PMC acronym. Computers may seem like they are alive, but they aren’t.
