Document Summary

Gain an understanding of diversity, evolution, and major adaptations of all forms of life. Biological concepts that apply to all forms of life. Similarities, differences, and major characteristics of major groups of organisms. Controlled growth and development (said to be controlled because it is arguable that you can grow non-living things such as crystals. This is because crystals can change in size. However, they can not control this growth themselves. Fungi do not consume organic compounds, they absorb them (capable to absorb up to. Defined as the ability to control the direction you go. For instance, wind is uncontrolled, whereas a human may choose to move closer to or away from a heater. Many prokaryotes and protists are incapable of moving on their own accord . Therefore controlled movement is not a general characteristic of life. All life utilizes cell structure to become organized (all life is made up of cells)
