The completed worksheet should be turned in to your assigned teacher. Tutorial: Interdependence and Adaptation Click on each living thing featured in the tutorial. Then, click on the magnifying glass beside each organism and complete the table. Click on Sorter 1 and complete the food web that is based on the tutorial. Write the names of each living thing in the appropriate box. Each organism has a very specific niche (role) in the web.

Topic 1 Assignment The three topics that I have chosen to examine for the first assignment are: reproduction, adaptation and homeostasis. All eight the components that are necessary to be termed a living entity are worthwhile, but these are the three that most peaked my interest in which I wanted to learn more about the process in answering necessary assignment questions. Reproduction Every living thing has to be able to reproduce in order to maintain being a living thing. Every living organism, eventually dies. If there is no reproduction or offspring, that species, would eventually die out or become extinct. Examples of organisms that reproduce are everywhere around us in the world, from plants and animals to parasites and red blood cells.

Chapter 4 Evolution and Biodiversity Summary 1. Life emerged on the earth through two phases of development: a chemical evolution of the organic molecules, biopolymers, and systems of chemical reactions to form the first cells and the biological evolution from single-celled prokaryotic bacteria to single-celled eukaryotic creatures, and then to multicellular organisms. 2. Evolution is the change in a population?s genetic makeup over time. Evolution forces adaptations to changes in environmental conditions in a population. The diversity of life on earth reflects the wide variety of adaptations necessary and suggests that environmental conditions have varied widely over the life of the earth.

Chapter 4 adaptation, or adaptive trait any heritable trait that enables an individual organism to survive through natural selection and to reproduce more than other individuals under prevailing environmental conditions. background extinction Throughout most of history, species have disappeared at a low rate, called background extinction. biological diversity, or biodiversity the variety of the earth?s species, the genes they contain, the ecosystems in which they live, and the ecosystem processes such as energy flow and nutrient cycling that sustain all life. biological evolution the process whereby earth?s life changes over time through changes in the genes of populations. differential reproduction

Chapter 1 Biology: The Study of Life I. What is Biology? A. The Science of Biology Biology: the study of life Organism: anything that possess all the characteristics of life B. Characteristics of Living Things All living things Have an orderly structure Produce offspring Grow and develop Adjust to changes in the environment 1. Living things are organized Organization: orderly structure; cells, tissues, organs, organ systems 2. Living things make more living things Reproduction: production of offspring Species: a group of organisms that can interbreed and produce fertile offspring in nature 3. Living things change during their lives Growth: an increase in the amount of living material and the formation of new structures

Ch 22: Descent with Modification Charles Darwin published On the Origin of Species by Means of Natural Selection (November 24, 1859) Origin of Species- focused biologists? attention on the great diversity of organisms a. Origins and relationships, similarities and differences, geographic distribution, adaptations to surrounding environments b. Presented evidence that the many species of organisms presently inhabiting Earth are descendants of ancestral species that were different from the modern species c. Proposed a mechanism for this evolutionary process Natural Selection Natural Selection- population can change over generations if individuals that possess certain heritable traits leave more offspring than other individuals

Environmental Science Vocabulary ? Living Things in the Environment & Populations organism - a living thing habitat - an environment that provides the things an organism needs to live. biotic factor - a living part of an organism?s habitat. i.e. grass, plants, seeds, fruit, worms, bacteria, other animals abiotic factor - a non-living part of an organisms habitat. i.e. water, sunlight, oxygen, temperature, soil photosynthesis - the process in which plants use water along with sunlight and carbon dioxide to make their own food. species - a group of organisms that are physically similar and can produce offspring. population - all the members of one species in a particular area. The ?count? of one species in an area.
