16. _________________________ what makes them ___________ is _______________ are _______________________ See end of show for image sources All cells have the SAME DNA... WHICH GENES TURNED ON or OFF different

17. It’s like having a whole library full of books, but reading only the books that are important to you. http://www.adc.state.az.us/programs/offlibsvs.html http://school.discovery.com/clipart/clip/report2.html

18. ALL LIVING THINGS Take in Materials & Use Energy To________________,organisms _______ a constant supply of ____________________ & ____________ This sheep uses the MOLECULES and ENERGY in the food it eats to make “more sheep” grow and develop need BUILDING MATERIALS ENERGY! http://ag.ansc.purdue.edu/sheep/ansc442/Semprojs/2003/spiderlamb/eatsheep.gif

19. ALL LIVING THINGS Take in Materials & Use Energy ___________ use energy from sunlight or chemicals to ________________ Ex: _____________ use ____________to turn _________ into _________ AUTOTROPHS http://www.inclusive.co.uk/downloads/images/pics2/tree.gif Image from: http://vilenski.org/science/safari/cellstructure/chloroplasts.html make their own food GREEN PLANTS sunlight photosynthesis glucose

20. ALL LIVING THINGS Take in Materials & Use Energy ______________ get their energy by ___________________ Ex: ________ (including you) and _________________ HETEROTROPHS Image from: http://www.epa.gov/region5/superfund/ecology/images/fishcartoon.gif consuming other organisms Animals most bacteria

21. Vocab word the combination of all the _________________ through which an organism ________ or ___________ materials as it carries out its life processes = ___________________ metabolism chemical reactions builds up breaks down

22. ALL LIVING THINGS Respond to their environment A signal to which an organism responds = ___________________ STIMULUS Image from: http://www.travel-net.com/~andrews/images/animations/traffic.gif

23. ALL LIVING THINGS Respond to their environment A stimulus can be _________________ Ex: When there is enough water and ground is warm enough, seed germinates. Roots respond to gravity & grow downward. Leaves respond to sunlight & grow up. EXTERNAL Image from: http://www.ccs.k12.in.us/chsBS/kons/kons/images/stimresp.jpg http://www.nofretete-page.de/gemischtNeu/TN_plant_grow_w.JPG

24. ALL LIVING THINGS Respond to their environment A stimulus can be ____________ Ex: When the glucose level in your bloodstream becomes low, your body responds by making you feel hungry. http://www.israellycool.com/eat%20guy%20AFP.jpg http://www.estrellamountain.edu/faculty/farabee/biobk/BioBookCHEM2.html INTERNAL

25. VOCAB WORD A cell works to keep conditions inside the cell constant = ______________________ IF temperature, water content, nutrients, acidity change too much... the cell will die. HOMEOSTASIS

26. HOMEOSTASIS involves internal __________ mechanisms If body temp drops too low, “shivering” produces heat to warm you up. http://www.dreamstime.com/thumb_4/1099235658Q3A4x8.jpg http://www.clipartheaven.com/clipart/seasons_&_weather/overheating_2.gif If temp is too hot, “sweating” cools you down. FEEDBACK
