That information is copied and passed from present offspring. With a few minor variations , life"s genetic code is almost identical in every organism on Earth ]]> 2016-09-01 18:30:59 UTC https://padlet.com/844lucask/ao9xq21z1asd/wish/121187445 844lucask https://padlet.com/844lucask/ao9xq21z1asd/wish/121187789 Every organism has a particular pattern if growth and development. During  development, a single fertilized egg divides again and again. As these cells divides, they differentiate, which means they begin to look different from on another and to perform different functions. ]]> 2016-09-01 18:31:57 UTC https://padlet.com/844lucask/ao9xq21z1asd/wish/121187789 844lucask https://padlet.com/844lucask/ao9xq21z1asd/wish/121188044 Organisms detect and respond to stimuli form their environment. A stimulus us a signal to which an organism responds.]]> 2016-09-01 18:32:37 UTC https://padlet.com/844lucask/ao9xq21z1asd/wish/121188044 844lucask https://padlet.com/844lucask/ao9xq21z1asd/wish/121188387 All organisms reproduce, which means that they produce new similar organisms. Most plants and animals engage in sexual reproduction. In sexual reproduction, cells from two parents unite to for the first cell of an new organisms reproduce through asexual reproduction, in which a single organism produced offspring identical to itself.]]> 2016-09-01 18:33:39 UTC https://padlet.com/844lucask/ao9xq21z1asd/wish/121188387 844lucask https://padlet.com/844lucask/ao9xq21z1asd/wish/121188524 All organisms need to keep their internal enviroment re;atively stable, even when external conditions chage dramatically. This condition is called homeostasis. ]]> 2016-09-01 18:34:08 UTC https://padlet.com/844lucask/ao9xq21z1asd/wish/121188524 844lucask https://padlet.com/844lucask/ao9xq21z1asd/wish/121188960 All organism must take in materials and energy to grow, develop, and reproduce. The combination of chemical reactions through which an organisms builds up or brake down materials is called metabolism.     ]]> 2016-09-01 18:35:29 UTC https://padlet.com/844lucask/ao9xq21z1asd/wish/121188960 844lucask https://padlet.com/844lucask/ao9xq21z1asd/wish/121189225 Organisms are composed of one or more cells----- the smallest unit considered fully alive. Cells can grow, respond to their surrounding, and reproduce. Despite their small size. cell are complex and highly organized. ]]> 2016-09-01 18:36:28 UTC https://padlet.com/844lucask/ao9xq21z1asd/wish/121189225 844lucask https://padlet.com/844lucask/ao9xq21z1asd/wish/121189501 Over generation, group of organisms evolve, or change over time. Evolutionary change links all forms of life to a common origin more than 3.5 billion years ago. Evidence of this shared history is found all aspects of living and fossil organisms, from physical features to structures of proteins to sequences of information in DNA.]]> 2016-09-01 18:37:18 UTC https://padlet.com/844lucask/ao9xq21z1asd/wish/121189501
