Document Summary
Humans are multicellular- everything in the human body has multiple parts. Living cells are composed of: genes-all id information, plasma membranes- encloses the cytoplasm(a membrane that. Protects and hold the cell together: organelles- specialized structures that preform specific functions. Homeostasis- the balanced point of an organism: sweating, metabolizing more food, organisms growing and changing. All living organisms respond to stimuli, and the environment. All living things require nutrients: nutrients are constantly recycled- since the beginning of time, nutrients are incorporated into the body. Organisms gain energy in two ways: 1. Consuming energy-rich molecules: ultimately everything is dependent on the sun. All living things grow, and become larger over time. All living things reproduce: of the same type of organism. All living this have the capacity to evolve. Protists- an organism that does not fall into: fungi. Prokaryotic or eukaryotic: whether or not a cell has a nucleus.
