- classification categories
- species, genus, family, order, class, phylum, kingdom, domain

- organ systems
- work together within complex organisms
- photosynthesis
- process that transforms solar energy into the chemical energy of nutrient molecules

- homeostasis
- the maintenance of internal conditions within certain boundaries
- evolution
- descent with modification

- cell
- the smallest most basic unit of life
- There are 3 domains
- domain Bacteria, domain Archaea, and domain Eukarya

- photosynthesis
- process that transforms solar energy into the chemical energy of nutrient molecules
- classification categories
- species, genus, family, order, class, phylum, kingdom, domain
- experimental variable
- When an experiment is done in a laboratory, all conditions are kept constant, except for this, which is deliberately changed
- genes
- made up of long DNA molecules
- metabolism
- encompasses all the chemical reactions that occur in a cell
- unicellular
- being only a single cell
- energy
- the capacity to do work, and it takes work to maintain the organization of the cell and the organism.

- being only a single cell
- photosynthesis
- process that transforms solar energy into the chemical energy of nutrient molecules
- Three domains
- domain Bacteria, domain Archaea, and domain Eukarya
- natural selection
- organisms become modified over time by this process

- protists
- range from unicellular to a few multicellular organisms
- natural selection
- organisms become modified over time by this process
- data
- the results of an experiment are referred to as this
- tissues
- in multicellular organisms, simular cells combine to form
- biodiversity
- includes the total number of species, but also the variability of organisms' genes and the varibility of ecosystems in the biosphere
- taxonomy
- the discipline of identifying and classifying organisms according to certain rules
- Prokaryotes
- Are domain Bacteria and domain Archaea: are unicellular, and lack membrain-bounded nucleus that is found in Eukarya
- reproduce
- make another organism like itself
- biosphere
- the zone of air, land, and water at the surface of the Earth where living organisms are found.
- species
- defined as a group of interbreeding individuals, may inherit a genetic change that causes them to be better suited to a particular environment
- tissues
- in multicellular organisms, simular cells combine to form
- scientific theories
- which are accepted explanations for how the world works
- organs
- tissues make up these
