Characteristics of Life Introduction: For many centuries‚ and longer‚ people have argued about the characteristics that separate life from non-life. While some of these arguments are unresolved‚ there are seven characteristics of life that are generally accepted. Anything that possesses all seven of these characteristics of life is known as an organism. 1. The scientific term for a living thing is _____________________________________.

Interaction between Abiotic and Biotic Components All living organisms depend upon their environment for survival essentials: 1) food 2) shelter 3) breeding site. In turn the organism interacts with the environment in several ways. For example a plant uses the environment for the three purposes named above but in turn it also removes carbon dioxide and water from the air‚ it gets eaten by an animal or a parasite and it depends on the soil for its support. Therefore the plant is interacting

Chapter 9 1. Organisms that can manufacture their own chemical energy sources are called _____________. 2. ________ depend on energy stored in chemical bonds by autotrophs for their food energy. 3. Simple molecules are further broken down in cells in a process called _________‚ during which energy stored in their chemical bonds is used to power the production of ATP. 4. Glucose is broken down to carbon dioxide and water in organisms which breathe air in a process called as ________ respiration

are important to the plant because without any one of them the plant would not be able to fully function properly and carry out exercises that are necessary for life. Heterotrophs and Autotrophs are both living things but heterotrophs acquire energy and nutrients from other living or dead (but once living) organisms while autotrophs convert sunlight into energy or acquire nutrients from nonliving sources (that were never living.) Photosynthesis is basically the intake of sunlight‚ carbon dioxide and

ecosystem. This delicate balance is the connection between predator and prey‚ consumer and producer‚ and autotroph and heterotrophs. Food web’s also allows you to follow the direction of the flow of energy as each organism consumes each of their indicated food sources. For example‚ the energy from the sun is taken in by producers‚ such as ‚ trees‚ grass and fruit. Then goes to an autotroph would be eaten by a second trophic level consumer‚ otherwise known as a herbivore‚ for instance an antelope
