Document Summary
Fill-in blanks and be sure to add all of the information that is presented in class so these notes and future notes will be complete. Note: drawing lines in this outline during lecture to indicate a new slide may be helpful: living organisms acquire and use materials and energy. Nutrients- include minerals, oxygen, water and others chemical building blocks. Energy- the ability to do work; almost all life is sustained by energy originally provided by the sun. Photosynthetic organisms capture energy and store it in energy rich molecules. Living organisms acquire and use materials and energy- energy flows while the nutrients cycle. Energy is acquired from sun by photosynthetic organisms and transferred through organisms that eat other forms of life. Growth involves the conversion of materials from the environment into molecules of the organism"s body: living organisms reproduce, give rise to offspring which allows for the continuation of life, reproductive process differs between organisms.
