energy flow - flows from the sun through the plants and the other members of the food chain as
they feed on one another; this gradually disputes and returns to the atmosphere as heat
basic characteristics of life - living organisms are organized, they acquire materials and energy,
they maintain an internal environment, they respond to stimuli, they can reproduce and develop, and
they can adapt to their environment
climate change - refers to changes in the normal cycles of the Earth's climate that may be
attributed to human activity
adaptations - modifications that make a species suited to their way of life
atoms - smallest unit of an element; composed of electrons, protons, and neutrons. example is
oxygen
binomial name - biologists give each living organism a two-part scientific name; first word is genus
and the second word is species/specific epithet
biodiversity - the total number and relative abundance of species, the variability of their genes
and the different ecosystems in which they live
biology - scientific study of life
biosphere - regions of the Earth's crust, waters, and atmosphere inhabited by living organisms
cell - the structural and functional unit of all living organisms. example is nerve cell.
, chemical cycling - occurs as chemicals move from one population to another in a food chain, until
death and decomposition allow inorganic nutrients to be returned to producers once again
classification categories from least inclusive (specific) to most inclusive (general) - species, genus,
order, class, phylum, kingdom, and domain
community - interacting population in a particular area. example is humans and birds interacting
in a Pittsburgh.
conclusion - summary about whether a hypothesis is supported or not
consumers - An organism that obtains energy and nutrients by feeding on other organisms or
their remains.
control group - the group that does not receive the experimental treatment
data - the results of an experiment
decomposers - Organisms that break down the dead remains of other organisms
development - cells express specific genes to distinguish themselves from other cells, thus
forming tissues and organs
DNA - the genetic blueprint of life
domain archaea - prokaryotes that live in extreme environments
domain bacteria - the majority of prokaryotes
