A cell is the smallest unit of life.They provide structure for the body, take in nutrients from food, convert those nutrients into energy, and carry out specialized function.
Example:
Erythrocyte (red blood cell). Hemoglobin is the protein inside red blood cells that carries oxygen. Red blood cells also remove carbon dioxide from your body, transporting it to the lungs for you to exhale.

Homeostasis is the ability to maintain a constant internal environment in response to environmental changes.
Example:
Humans' internal body temperature is a great example of homeostasis. When an individual is healthy, his or her body temperature retains a temperature 98.6 degrees Fahrenheit.]]> 2017-09-06 20:34:32 UTC https://padlet.com/jt256871_1/8fykc2agib1a/wish/185312395 #3 Respond jt256871_1 https://padlet.com/jt256871_1/8fykc2agib1a/wish/185315416 Info:
Any behavior of a living organism that results from an external or internal stimulus
Example:
An example of response is when the plant responds to the sunlight and water.]]> 2017-09-06 20:48:38 UTC https://padlet.com/jt256871_1/8fykc2agib1a/wish/185315416 #4 Reproduction jt256871_1 https://padlet.com/jt256871_1/8fykc2agib1a/wish/185318004 Info:
Reproduction is the biological process by which new individual organisms
Example:
"Fragmentation, also known as splitting, as a method of reproduction is seen in many organisms such as filamentous cyanobacteria, molds, lichens, many plants, and animals such as sponges, acoel flatworms, some annelid worm"]]> 2017-09-06 21:00:07 UTC https://padlet.com/jt256871_1/8fykc2agib1a/wish/185318004 #5 Metabolism jt256871_1 https://padlet.com/jt256871_1/8fykc2agib1a/wish/185319833 Info:
The sum of the chemical reactions that take place within each cell of a living organism and that provide energy for vital processes and for synthesizing new organic material.
Example:
For a example, humans can break down sugar molecules to get energy.

Heredity is the passing on of traits from parents to their offspring
Example:
An example of heredity is you most likely getting a specific eye color according to one of your parents. Maybe even some type of disorder.

"Human development is a lifelong process of physical, behavioral, cognitive, and emotional growth and change. In the early stages of life—from babyhood to childhood, childhood to adolescence, and adolescence to adulthood—enormous changes take place".
Example:
"Multicellular organisms add more and more cells to form more tissues and organs as they grow. Growth and development of living organisms are not the same things. Growth is the increase in size and mass of that organism".]]> 2017-09-06 21:17:46 UTC https://padlet.com/jt256871_1/8fykc2agib1a/wish/185321575 The seven characteristics of life. jt256871_1 https://padlet.com/jt256871_1/8fykc2agib1a/wish/185367838 2017-09-07 02:54:44 UTC https://padlet.com/jt256871_1/8fykc2agib1a/wish/185367838
