14

CELL THEORY

the cell is the basic unit of life, all living things are composed of cells, and all cells arise from pre-existing cells.

Slide image

15

ENERGY

All living things require energy, and energy flows between organisms and between organisms and the environment.

Slide image

16

HEREDITY

All living things have DNA and genetic information codes the structure and function of all cells.

Slide image

17

EQUILIBRIUM

All living things must maintain homeostasis, a state of balanced equilibrium between the organism and its environment.

Slide image

18

EVOLUTION

Evolution is the change over time that is the engine of biological diversity.
