          5.L.1.1 Explain why some organisms are capable of surviving as a
single cell while others require many cells that are specialized to survive.
          5.L.1.2 Compare the major systems of the human body (digestive,
respiratory, circulatory, muscular, skeletal, and cardiovascular) in terms of their functions necessary for life.

Living things are also called organisms. Life science is often referred to as biology. Life scientists work in many different settings, from classrooms to labs to natural habitats. The science of life studies the most simple single cell organisms to the most complex, such as the human body. This has been instrumental in figuring out how species live and die in our world and how we can best take care of ourselves and the living world around us. ]]> 2021-04-07 14:24:14 UTC https://padlet.com/mmk1591/nirs2j2gxkhd3481/wish/1391642769 mmk1591 https://padlet.com/mmk1591/nirs2j2gxkhd3481/wish/1391683958 What does it mean for something to be alive?

Biology- the study of living organisms, divided into many specialized fields that cover their morphology, physiology, anatomy, behavior, origin, and distribution.

Anatomy- the branch of science concerned with the bodily structure of humans, animals, and other living organisms, especially as revealed by dissection and the separation of parts.

Cell- the smallest structural and functional unit of an organism, typically microscopic and consisting of cytoplasm and a nucleus enclosed in a membrane. Microscopic organisms typically consist of a single cell, which is either eukaryotic or prokaryotic.

Reproduction- the production of offspring by a sexual or asexual process.

Systems- a set of things working together as parts of a mechanism or an interconnecting network. a set of organs in the body with a common structure or function. the human or animal body as a whole.

Organism- an individual animal, plant, or single-celled life form.

Life- the condition that distinguishes animals and plants from inorganic matter, including the capacity for growth, reproduction, functional activity, and continual change preceding death.

Genetics- the study of heredity and the variation of inherited characteristics. the genetic properties or features of an organism, characteristic, etc.
