Made of cells

All living organisms are composed of cells, which are the basic units of life.

Reproduce

All living organisms can produce offspring, either sexually or asexually, ensuring the continuation of their species.

DNA

is the hereditary material that carries genetic information essential for the growth, development, and functioning of all living organisms.

Growth and Development

are processes that involve an increase in size and changes in the structure and function of an organism

Obtain and Use energy

is the process by which living organisms take in energy from their environment and convert it into forms that are usable for growth, metabolism, and maintenance of cellular processes.

Respond to environment

is the ability of living organisms to detect and react to changes in their surroundings, which may include stimuli such as light, temperature, and sound.

Maintain Homeostasis

is the process by which living organisms regulate their internal environment to maintain stable, constant conditions despite external changes.

Evolve

is the process by which living organisms undergo genetic changes over time, leading to adaptation

Macromolecule

is a large, complex molecule composed of smaller subunits, including proteins, nucleic acids, carbohydrates, and lipids, that play essential roles in biological functions.

monomer

is a small, basic molecular unit that can join together with other similar units to form a more complex structure known as a polymer.

polymer

is a large molecule formed by the repeated linking of monomers

Carbohydrate

Serves as a major energy source and structural component in living organisms.

Lipid

is a diverse group of molecules that include fats, oils, and steroids, playing crucial roles in energy storage, cell membrane structure, and signaling.

Protein

essential for various biological functions, including enzymes, structural support, and transport.

Nucleic Acids

molecules that store and transmit genetic information, including DNA and RNA.
