14. Seven Characteristics of a Living Organism   Cellular organization   Reproduction   Metabolism   Homeostasis   Heredity   Responsiveness (evolution)   Interdependence

15. Living Organisms!  1. Cellular Structure and Function : Living things are organized into cells; a cell is the smallest unit capable of all life functions  unicellular- composed of only one cell  multicellular- composed of more than one cell  2. Reproduction: a process by which organisms make more of their own kind  asexual reproduction- a single parent produces identical offspring  sexual reproduction- two parents are necessary to produce offspring; offspring not identical to either parent

16. Living Organisms!  3. Metabolism: All of the chemical reactions carried out in an organism. All organisms have processes that are fueled by energy from these chemical reactions.  4. Homeostasis: The maintenance (keeping) of stable internal conditions in spite of changes to the outside environment. Ex. temperature

17. Living Organisms!  5. Heredity: The passing of traits from parent to offspring. A gene is the basic unit of heredity.  6. Evolution: The change in the inherited traits over generations. Evolution happens because of natural selection.

18. Living Organisms!  7. Interdependence – Organisms are dependant on each other as well as their environment. It is a result of a long history of evolutionary adjustments.

23. What’s going on in the biological world today?  List 5 things that are current in the biological world.

24. Opener  You need to summarize your notes on both Scientific Method and Living Qualities on page 16-17. It must be at least15-17 sentences in length.

25. Quiz part 2  Starbucks has hired you to decide which coffee should be their next big seller. They have given you FIVE blends to both taste and name. You need to develop an experiment to test the five blends and decide which one should be their next big seller. You must run an experiment using the 6 steps of the scientific method. Good luck, create the next big seller and you could strike it big!
