What is your favorite eukaryote?
What are the similarities and differences between living and non-living organisms?
Name up to 5 characteristics that make something 'living'?
Living organisms are able to grow, reproduce, and respond to their environment. They require energy and materials from their environment to sustain themselves (Ex: Sugar, proteins, water, vitamins, gasses). Living organisms show evidence of adaptation and evolution over time.
Characteristics of Living Organisms
Brain break: Draw a mischievous monkey swinging from jungle vines and squirting water with a banana-shaped water gun.
Homeostasis: Mainting a stable internal environment (Ex: Sweating to cool down). How do humans maintain a stable blood sugar? What disease process is a result of the inability to maintain homeostasis of blood sugar? 2. Reproduction: The process by which living organisms create new living organisms from their own genetic material. What are 2 types of reproduction? 3. Adaptation: The process of becoming better suited to an environment over time by inheriting characteristics passed down from preceding generations.
Characteristics
Draw an organism and label 3 adaptations that help it survive in it's environment.
Characteristics cont'd
4. Response to stimuli- input that triggers a physical or behavioral change. How do plants respond to stimuli? What is the stimuli if you are burned by a stove and you quickly remove your hand? What is the response? 5. Growth and Development Catarpillar-----> ? Embryo----->baby-----> ? 6. Metabolism- Breaking down foods (sugar) into energy (ATP). Eat/digest/utilize food, water, and nutrients. 7. Order- cells are the basic and most simple unit of life. Cells-->tissues-->organs-->organ systems-->organism
Draw an organ on one side and an organ system on the other side.
