water nutrients space to live and air

water helps plants what?

Cellular activity such as DNA replication cell division proteins synthesis breaking down food and transporting water

Nutrients helps plants what ?

provides organisms with what they need to grow

what ere the two types of nutrients

Autotrophs(PRODUCERS) and heterotrophs (CONSUMERS)

Space to live helps organisms with what

provides organisms with food water shelter

Air helps organisms with what

Plants need CO2 for photosynthesis plants and animals need air for cellular respiration

what is the 8 things all organisims have or do

what is the Second thing all organisms do/have

homeostasis ability to maintain internal conditions in response to environmental changes

What is the third thing all organisms do or have

Organisms use energy to power daily function and repair/replace damaged cells

What is a cells currency

ATP stands for adenosine triphosphate

What is the fourth thing all organisms do/have

all organisms can reproduce

What are the two types of reproduction

sexual reproduction. Two parents produce offspring with different genes. Asexual reproduction. Single parent produces offspring that is identical to the parent called a clone.

What is the fifth thing all organisms do/have

all organisms have traits traits are found in DNA pass-through jeans occurs during asexual or sexual reproduction

What is the sixth thing all organisms do/have

All organisms grow can grow by cells increasing in number for size

What is the seventh thing all organisms do or have

all organisms respond to changes in the environment. This is called stimulus stimulus is any activity that brings out a response Ex if you're hungry you will go find something to eat

What are the two types of stimulus

internal stimulus Ex if you're thirsty you will go find a drink external stimulus Ex you hear a sound you become more aware of your surroundings

What is the 8th thing all organisms do or have

What is natural selection

the process word traits best suited for the environment will survive to be passed on to offspring
