3. Asexual vs. Sexual Reproduction

4. REPRODUCTION
Reproduction is the biological process by which new individual organisms – "offspring" – are produced from their "parents". Reproduction is a basic feature of all known life; each individual organism exists as the result of reproduction.

5. Asexual reproduction 1 PARENT - MITOSIS
OFFSPRING GENETICALLY IDENTICAL
Chromosome # the SAME
NO MEIOSIS or FERTILIZATION
single-celled organisms
archaea, bacteria, & protists.
Many plants & fungi reproduce asexually

6. Sexual Reproduction 2 PARENTS - MEIOSIS GENETIC DIVERSITY/VARIATION
GAMETES - SPERM & EGG
Each Have ½ CHROMOSOME #
FERTILIZATION:
ALMOST ALL ANIMALS & PLANTS

7. CELLS
Cell - Latin cella - meaning "small room” is the basic structural, functional, and biological unit of all living organisms.
Smallest unit of life that can replicate independently, and are often called the "building blocks of life".

8. UNICELLULAR SIMPLE SINGLE-CELLED Having or consisting of ONE CELL
PROTISTS & BACTERIA

9. MULTICELLULAR COMPLEX Having or Consisting of MORE THAN ONE CELL
PLANTS, ANIMALS, HUMANS

10. MAIN SOURCE of ENERGY

11. PRODUCERS AUTOTROPHS MAKE their OWN FOOD PLANTS & Some Algae
PHOTOSYNTHESIS

12. CONSUMERS HETEROTROPHS
Organisms that receive ENERGY by consuming other organisms.
ANIMALS, BACTERIA, & FUNGUS

13. RESPOND to STIMULI
STIMULUS - Something that can evoke a physical response in a cell, tissue, or organism. A stimulus can be internal or external. 

14. RESPOND to STIMULI
RESPONSE - ALL the processes that occur as a result of the stimulus occurring within or outside the cell or organism.

15. GROWTH & DEVELOPMENT
GROW - The increases in cell size and number that take place during the life history of an organism. The process is seldom random.

16. GROWTH & DEVELOPMENT
DEVELOP: Changes in size, shape, and function during the life of an organism by which its genetic code (genotype) is translated into physical characteristics (phenotype)

17. CONTAINS CHEMICALS/DNA
CARBON (C)
HYDROGEN (H)
NITROGEN (N)
PHOSPHORUS (P)
MAKE UP: Carbohydrates, Lipids, Proteins, Nucleic Acids (DNA)

18. LIVING THINGS ADAPT
ADAPTATIONS - Special features that allow a plant/animal to live in a certain place/habitat
Result of natural selection & random genetic variations passed from one generation to the next.
