Asexual Reproduction
________ is when one parent is involved and offspring are genetically identical to the parent.
Sexual Reproduction
________ is when two parents are involved and offspring are genetically different from each parent.
Primary Producers
________: extract energy and nutrients from the non living environment.
Domains
________ are divided into kingdoms.
Protista
Eukarya, ________: Most diverse group of eukaryotes with multiple lineages like amoebas, slime molds, algae, and more.
Homeostasis
________ is the process by which a cell or organism maintains internal equilibrium.
Prokaryotic
________: single celled organism with no membrane bound organelles.
Decomposers
________: Consumers that obtain nutrients from dead organisms and organic wastes.
Plantae
Eukarya, ________: Producers that capture light from the sun and create energy that is passed to consumers and decomposers and are autotrophs (Autotrophs)
Development
________: changes that occur as an organism matures, including growth, cell specialization, and other processes.
organelles
Eukaryotic: has membrane bound ________.
external digestion
Eukarya, Fungai: Natures decomposers and heterotrophs by ________.
Consumers
________: obtain energy and nutrients by eating other organisms.
Growth
________: an increase in an organisms size, usually by way of cell division.
Cells
________ use DNA top produce proteins which carry out the work that ________ do.
