BiologyThe study of life
Unicellularan organism made up of only one cell
Multicellularcomposed of more than one cell, most of the living things you see around you.
Homeostasisthe stable level of internal conditions. Is found in all living things, including single cells.
Evolutiontheory of how many kinds of organisms have lived on Earth came into existence. It provides a basis for exploring the relationship among different groups of living organisms.
Autotrophsorganisms that obtain their energy by making their own food
Heterotrophsorganisms that must take in their own food to meet their energy needs
Characteristics of lifeCells, Organization, Energy Use, Homeostasis, Growth
