13. Response to Stimuli Stimulus
Environmental change that triggers a response

14. Homeostasis Homeostasis
the maintenance of the constant internal environment 

15. Regulation / Homeostasis
GLUCOSE BALANCE
Increase in blood sugar is sensed by the pancreas which releases insulin. Insulin allows the cells to take in sugar and store extra for later.

16. Metabolism Heterotrophic Autotrophic
the sum of all chemical reactions in the body
Heterotrophic

18. Change Through Time Evolution
process of change…change in the proportion of inherited genes in a population

19. Reproduction & Inheritance
Reproduction is essential to the survival of the species, NOT the individual
