4. Discussion of topics.

12. “TO MAKE” How organisms build necessary molecules.
Synthesis
“TO MAKE” How organisms build necessary molecules.

13. “TO MOVE” How organisms get what they need to their cells.
Transport
“TO MOVE” How organisms get what they need to their cells.

14. How organisms get rid of their waste and balance their fluids.
Excretion
How organisms get rid of their waste and balance their fluids.

15. Regulation How organisms control their body processes.
HOMEOSTASIS - maintain constant internal condition
An adaptation is an inherited structure, behavior, or internal process that enables organisms to better survive an environment.
Ex.: Gills on a fish

16. How organisms ingest and break down food.
Nutrition
How organisms ingest and break down food.

17. Growth/Development Growth – to increase in size.
Increases the number of cells of a multicellular organism.
Development – Change that taeks place in structure and function of an organism during its life cycle.
Example: Embryo becomes a fetus.

18. How organisms make new individuals like themselves.
Reproduction
How organisms make new individuals like themselves.

19. Respiration(Cellular)
How organisms get oxygen and release carbon dioxide to make usable energy.
