Document Summary

Process energy maintaining order requires energy input: eg: solar energy converted into chemical energy to kinetic energy light to plant to bug. Reproduce grow and develop: cells genetic material dna-carries information for reproduction, genes are the unit of inheritance. Regulate internal conditions: concentrations of molecules, temperature (some) etc, eg. Cod fish takes in salt and then has to get rid of water. Adapt and evolve, populations adapt: well adapted individuals are more successful at survival and reproduction, eg. The stomata: open or closes depending on the pressure of water within the plant exchange of gasses. Individuals in a population vary in their traits.
