What does it mean for living things to reproduce?

Back

Reproduction is the biological process by which living organisms produce new individuals of the same species.

Front

What is growth in living organisms?

Back

Growth refers to the increase in size or mass of an organism over time, often involving cell division and differentiation.

Front

How do living things respond to their environment?

Back

Living things respond to environmental stimuli through various mechanisms, such as movement, growth, or physiological changes.

What is adaptation in living organisms?

Back

Adaptation is the process by which living organisms develop traits that enhance their survival and reproduction in specific environments.

Front

What are the characteristics of all living things?

Back

All living things share key characteristics: they are made of cells, use energy, grow and develop, reproduce, respond to their environment, and maintain homeostasis.

Front

What is the role of cells in living organisms?

Back

Cells are the basic structural and functional units of life, making up all living organisms and performing essential life processes.

Front

How do living things use energy?

Back

Living things use energy to carry out essential functions such as growth, reproduction, and maintaining homeostasis.

Front

What is the significance of reproduction in living organisms?

Back

Reproduction ensures the continuation of a species by producing offspring that inherit genetic material from their parents.

Front

What is the difference between growth and development in living organisms?

Back

Growth refers to an increase in size, while development involves changes in the organism's structure and function over time.
