  1. What forms an organ system?: When 2 or more organs and or structures worktogether to carry out functions they form a organ system.
  2. Define a population: A population is a group of organizms of the same speciesliving together in one area
  3. Define a community: Different species living together in the same area
  4. How can we refer to the ecosystem?: The relationship between a communityand its physical enviorment.
  5. Define Biome: A Major division of the earths surface largely determined byclimate but characterized by the plants and animals inhabiting it.
  6. What makes up the biosphere?: All regions on the planet inhabited by organ-isms.
  7. Where does all energy come from?: The sun

  3. Define Natural Selection.: Natural selection refers to the survival of organisms that have an advantage over other organisms. Usually due to genetic changes that allow adaption in the enviorment easier passed to subsequent organisms.
  4. What is the flow of energy?: Sun->Plants->Herbivores->Carnivores.
  5. All Living things can be grouped into three ?: Domains
  6. Name the three Domains: Archaea (Prokaryotes)Bacteria (Prokaryotes) Eukarya (Eukaroytes)

  3. Define DNA: DNA is the genetic material that contains the set of instructions(genes) that determine the characteristics of the organism.
  4. Define Heredity: When DNA is replicated and passe donto the future genera-tions so the characteristics of the parents are passed onto the offspring.
  5. Define Responsiveness: When the living organisms detect changes in

other words, cells arise only by division of a previously existing cell. Spontaneousgeneration does not occur. Cells do not suddenly appear.

  1. All living organisms from bacteria to humans contain ?: DNA (de-oxyribonucleic acid). 34. The entire set of genes that determines the characteristics of an organismis called the ?: Genome
