Module 1 Lesson 1

Question 1

CoL: Made up of 1 or more cells

Answer 1

cells are the basic unit of structure in all living things

ex. Bacterium in Unicellular
Humans and Plants are Multicellular

Question 2

CoL: Displays Organization

Answer 2

ex. Organ systems working together to support an organism

Living things display Organization

Question 3

CoL: Growth and Development

Answer 3

Growth results in an increase in mass
Development results in different abilities

ex. Human grows and becomes taller and heavier
Human develops and can jump higher and run faster

Question 4

CoL: Reproduction

Answer 4

Organisms reproduce to pass on traits from generation to generation

ex. Humans sexually reproduce

Question 5

CoL: Response to Stimuli

Answer 5

Reactions to internal and external stimuli are called responses

ex. House plant away from light next to a window will shift itself slowly towards the light

Question 6

CoL: Requires Energy

Answer 6

All forms of life need energy

gained through the energy from the light of the sun to make themselves food. Could also take energy from chemical compounds. Some gain energy by consuming other organisms

ex. Animals hunt other animals for energy

Question 7

CoL: Maintains Homeostasis

Answer 7

All organisms keep themselves in a stable state through the process of homeostasis. Homeostasis is regulated and maintained at all levels of the organization. If not maintained could result in death

ex. Humans use homeostasis to maintain a stable body temperature

Question 8

CoL: Adaptations/Evolves over time

Answer 8

Inherited changes over time to help species survive over time

ex. Animals fur who are living in colder climates

Question 9

Biology

Answer 9

science of life; examines how living things interact, how systems function, and how they function at a molecular level.

Question 10

Organism

Answer 10

anything that has or once had all the characteristics of life.

Question 11

Growth

Answer 11

process that results in mass being added to an organism; may include formation of new cells and new structures.

Question 12

Development

Answer 12

changes an organism undergoes in its lifetime before reaching its adult form.

Question 13

Reproduction

Answer 13

production of offspring.

Question 14

Species

Answer 14

group of organisms that can interbreed and produce fertile offspring (biological species concept).

Question 15

stimulus

Answer 15

any change in an organism’s internal or external environment that causes the organism to react.

Question 16

Response

Answer 16

organism’s reaction to a stimulus.

Question 17

Homeostasis

Answer 17

regulation of an organism’s internal environment to maintain conditions needed for life.

Question 18

Adaptation

Answer 18

inherited characteristic of a species that develops over time in response to an environmental factor, enabling the species to survive.
