  • Animal cells-the basic unit of life in organisms of the kingdom Animalia. They are eukaryotic cells, meaning that they have a true nucleus and specialized structures called organelles that carry out different functions.
  • Metabolism-the chemical processes that occur within a living organism in order to maintain life.
  •  Homeostasis-the tendency toward a relatively stable equilibrium between interdependent elements, especially as maintained by physiological processes.
  •  heredity-the sum of all biological processes by which particular characteristics are transmitted from parents to their offspring.
  • Evolve-(with reference to an organism or biological feature) develop over successive generations as a result of natural selection./ change in the heritable characteristics of biological populations over successive generations. These characteristics are the expressions of genes that are passed on from parent to offspring during reproduction.
  • Alive-(of a person, animal, or plant) living, not dead.
  • Dead-no longer alive./ (of a place or time) characterized by a lack of activity
  • dormant-(of an animal) having normal physical functions suspended or slowed down for a period of time; in or as if in a deep sleep./ temporarily inactive or inoperative.

    2. biomass-the total mass of organisms in a given area or volume.
    • organic matter used as a fuel, especially in a power station for the generation of electricity.

    3. biosphere-the regions of the surface, atmosphere, and hydrosphere of the earth (or analogous parts of other planets) occupied by living organisms.
    4. carbon reservoir-the atmosphere, the terrestrial biosphere (which usually includes freshwater systems and non-living organic material, such as soil carbon), the oceans (which includes dissolved inorganic carbon and living and non-living marine biota), and the sediments (which includes fossil fuels).
    5. carbon sink-a forest, ocean, or other natural environment viewed in terms of its ability to absorb carbon dioxide from the atmosphere.
    6. fossil fuel-a natural fuel such as coal or gas, formed in the geological past from the remains of living organisms.
    7. geosphere-any of the almost spherical concentric regions of matter that make up the earth and its atmosphere, as the lithosphere and hydrosphere.
    8. greenhouse gas-a gas that contributes to the greenhouse effect by absorbing infrared radiation, e.g., carbon dioxide and chlorofluorocarbons.
    8. hydrosphere-all the waters on the earth's surface, such as lakes and seas, and sometimes including water over the earth's surface, such as clouds.
    9. lithosphere-the rigid outer part of the earth, consisting of the crust and upper mantle.

Periodic Table-a table of the chemical elements arranged in order of atomic number, usually in rows, so that elements with similar atomic structure (and hence similar chemical properties) appear in vertical columns.
    2. States of Matter-one of the distinct forms in which matter can exist. Four states of matter are observable in everyday life: solid, liquid, gas, and plasma.
    3. Structure of Atoms-three basic particles: protons, electrons, and neutrons. The nucleus (center) of the atom contains the protons (positively charged) and the neutrons (no charge). The outermost regions of the atom are called electron shells and contain the electrons (negatively charged).
    4. Changes in Matter-physical change and chemical change. 
    5. Chemical Changes- when a substance combines with another to form a new substance, called chemical synthesis or, alternatively, chemical decomposition into two or more different substances.
    6. Physical Changes- never change the identity of the matter, only its size, shape or state. In a physical change, atoms are not rearranged and the matter's physical and chemical properties are unchanged.
    7. Solid-firm and stable in shape; not liquid or fluid.
    8. liquid-
    a substance that flows freely but is of constant volume, having a consistency like that of water or oil.
    9. gas-a substance or matter in a state in which it will expand freely to fill the whole of a container, having no fixed shape (unlike a solid) and no fixed volume (unlike a liquid).
    10. Enzymes-a substance produced by a living organism which acts as a catalyst to bring about a specific biochemical reaction. (catalyst makes a reaction occur faster)
    11. Solutions-a liquid mixture in which the minor component (the solute) is uniformly distributed within the major component (the solvent).
