Characteristics of Life, Cell Theory, Cell Organelles

A plant growing towards the light is an example of 

• reproduction.

• responding to a stimuli.

• metabolism.

• homeostasis.

The maintenance of an organism’s internal environment is called:

• compensating

• homeostasis

• balancing

• routine

The "cause" for something to happen is the

• response

• effect

• stimulus

• homeostasis

What is an adaptation?

• A feature or behavior that helps an animal survive.

• The food that an animal eats.

• How energy moves in a food web.

• How animals evolve throughout time.

The image seen here is of a person shivering due to cold temperature. This is an example of an organism maintaining ________________ in action!

• Homeostasis

• Adaptations

• Evolution

• Development

The process whereby an organism produces more of its own kind

• development

• adaptation

• homeostasis

• reproduction

A plant using sunlight to make food to use or a deer eating leaves from a shrub are examples of

• universal genetic codes.

• organisms made of cells.

• responding to a stimulus.

• metabolism.

Reproduction that only involves one parent and all offspring are identical; for example, binary fission of bacteria or amoebas.

• Asexual

• Sexual

• Division

• Addition

When a baby kitten becomes an adult cat, this is an example of...

• energy metabolism

• growth and development

• response to stimuli

• having cells

Identify the characteristic: A camel has eyelashes that work to keep the dust and sand out of its eyes.

• All living things adapt/respond to their environment

• All living things grow

• All living things have cells

• All living things use energy
