All living things are connected. Where they live depends on the cycling of matter and the flow of energy between them and other organisms

72
Q

Science is a way of knowing

A

The job of science is to use observations, questions, and experiments to explain the natural world. Good scientists can find rules and patterns that can explain and predict things in the natural world.

Viruses, bacteria, and other organisms cause diseases and evolve to become immune to the ways we fight them.

77
Q

What are the 8 different characteristics of living things

A

1) all living things are made up of cells
2) all living things reproduce
3) all living things are based on a universal genetic code
4) all living things grow and develop
5) all living things obtain materials and use energy
