It can be organized into cells, tissues, organs, and organ systems. ]]> 2018-09-12 04:41:07 UTC https://padlet.com/MichelleChoco/9a16sb2z061g/wish/280190916 Organisms Acquire Materials and Energy MichelleChoco https://padlet.com/MichelleChoco/9a16sb2z061g/wish/280191025 Organisms require an outside source of materials and energy to  maintain their organization and carry on life's other activities. Food is an example of this, as it provides materials and energy to its consumers. While Cheerios aren't the healthiest option, they do the job.]]> 2018-09-12 04:41:56 UTC https://padlet.com/MichelleChoco/9a16sb2z061g/wish/280191025 Organisms Reproduce MichelleChoco https://padlet.com/MichelleChoco/9a16sb2z061g/wish/280191213 An organism's genes carry genetic information for reproduction.

The picture below shows a plant moving itself to where the light shines brightest, which would allow it to photosynthesize more efficiently]]> 2018-09-12 04:43:24 UTC https://padlet.com/MichelleChoco/9a16sb2z061g/wish/280191244 Organisms are Homeostatic MichelleChoco https://padlet.com/MichelleChoco/9a16sb2z061g/wish/280191324 The internal environment of an organism stays relatively constant. An example of this is body temperature. In the picture below, my brother is shivering because he's cold. The movement produces heat to bring his body temperature back up.]]> 2018-09-12 04:43:44 UTC https://padlet.com/MichelleChoco/9a16sb2z061g/wish/280191324 Organisms Grow and Develop MichelleChoco https://padlet.com/MichelleChoco/9a16sb2z061g/wish/280191366 As part of their development, organisms increase in size and often in the number of cells. The picture below shows the same type of plant with different sizes and stages of development.]]> 2018-09-12 04:43:59 UTC https://padlet.com/MichelleChoco/9a16sb2z061g/wish/280191366 Organisms have the Capacity to Adapt MichelleChoco https://padlet.com/MichelleChoco/9a16sb2z061g/wish/280191421 Adaptations allow for survival in changing conditions. The thorns on this plant are a form of protection that would give the plant a higher chance of survival in the wild (but not in my house).]]> 2018-09-12 04:44:16 UTC https://padlet.com/MichelleChoco/9a16sb2z061g/wish/280191421 15/15 Michelle!
