Document Summary

Living things all exhibit patterns, the characteristic of life is making order out of disorder. Maintaining order requires energy input. ex: inset feeding off plant. The plant has taken solar energy and turned it into chemical energy. The insect ingests the nectar which is taken in by the inset and used as kinetic energy when the inset ies away (1. solar. Respond to the environment ex: venus y trap reacting to bug inside of it. ex: amoeba, adjusts structure of behaviour depending on the surroundings. Reproduce, grow and develop ex: humans ex: plants - seed production ex: bionary ssion in yeast. Cells" genetic material - dna - carries information for reproduction. Regulate their internal conditions, concentrations of molecules, temperature (some). ex: cod sh, losing water to water to their environments. Well adapted individuals are more successful at survival and reproduction. Individuals in a population vary in their traits. ex: humans, mice, lady bugs.
