(62 cards)
Characteristics shared by living organism are made of
Cells
All chemical reactions that happen in the body
Metabolism
Maintain a stable environment
Homeostasis- stable internal environment
Living thing are made up and use
Organic Molecules
What are the organic molecules
Carbohydrates-Glucose and Sugar
Lipids- Fats,Oils, and Waves
Protein- (Amino Acids)
Nucleus Acids- Nucleotides, DNA, and RNA
What speed up reactions
Enzymes
What must a living thing be able to obtain and break down
Nutrients
What breaks down nutrients to the turn them into smaller molecules to release energy (ATP)
Cellular respiration
What do Synthesis’ do
They combine simple structures and turn them into complex structures
What does growth do
Increases size or number of cells
Removal of waste products from the organism
Excretion (Exit)
Any change in an environment that causes behavioral and physical response
Stimuli
Making more of a species
Reproducing

Passive (Doesn’t require ATP)
What does Active Transport require
ATP
Circulates materials
Cytoplasm
Makes proteins by assembling Amino acids
Ribosomes
What stores wastes to be removed
