The way an organism is organized specific cells have specific jobs.

EXAMPLE:
The plants have different cells than animals. Plants have chloroplasts that allows the cells to produce chlorophyll. Animal cells cannot produce chlorophyll because they don't need it in order to produce energy.]]> 2017-09-05 13:21:17 UTC https://padlet.com/ar25521/76lhuv3q416j/wish/184729627 #2: Homeostasis ar25521 https://padlet.com/ar25521/76lhuv3q416j/wish/184729711 INFO:
Maintain a stable internal environment even though the outside is changing.

Breaking down food into energy (ATP) that can be used to do everyday functions.

EXAMPLE:
When the carbohydrates are broken into sugars.]]> 2017-09-05 13:21:31 UTC https://padlet.com/ar25521/76lhuv3q416j/wish/184729747 #4: Responds to environment ar25521 https://padlet.com/ar25521/76lhuv3q416j/wish/184729804 INFO:
Reaction to stimulus (change in the environment and adjusting).

EXAMPLE:

Passing down traits to offspring as these traits change over time, it leads to evolution.

- Growth: Getting larger in size.
- Development: Process of change.

EXAMPLE:
- Growth: A seed that grows into a tree.
- Development:  A caterpillar that becomes a butterfly.]]> 2017-09-05 13:21:53 UTC https://padlet.com/ar25521/76lhuv3q416j/wish/184729938
