Document Summary
Display order all forms of life including this flower are arranged in a highly ordered manner, with the cell being the fundamental unit of life. Harness and utilize energy all forms of life acquire energy from the environment and use it to maintain their highly ordered state (ex; hummingbird) Reproduce all organisms have the ability to make more of their own kind (ex: bacteria divided into 2 daughter cells) Respond to stimuli organisms can make adjustments to their structure, function, and behaviour in response to changes to the external environment (ex: a plant adjust the size of stomata to regulate gas exchange) Exhibit homeostasis organisms are able to regulate their internal environment such that conditions remain selectively constant (ex: sweating to maintain a constant temperature) Growth and development all organisms increase their size by increasing the size and/or number of cells.
