The nine characteristic of life:
Cellular composition, growth, reproduction, movement, adaptation, metabolism, specific organization, homeostasis, responsiveness
unicellular examples (cellular composition)
bacteria, amoeba, paramecium
Multicellular examples (cellular composition)
plants, animals
Increase in cell size
unicellular (growth)
increase in cell number
multicellular (growth)
small cell absorbing nutrients, growing and doing its job
G1 1st gap
cell is continuing to grow and duplicates its dna
s synthesis
cell keeps growing and doing its job. As cells absorb nutrients and get larger, the number of the cell increases faster than the surface area
g2 2nd gap
two types of reproduction
asexual and sexual
cell division (mitosis)- one cell becomes two cell
asexual
union of sex cells (sperm and egg)
sexual
3 types of movement
place to place, external part, internal part
