What are the characteristics of living things? - Response to Surroundings,
reproduction, growth and development, DNA, obtain and use energy, and cell
organization
What are the three parts of the cell theory? - All living organisms are composed
of cells, the cell is the basic unit of life, and cells arise from pre-existing cells.
What are the levels of organization of living things? - Organelle, cells, tissues,
organs, organ systems, organisms, populations, communities, ecosystem, and
biosphere.
What is homeostasis? - Dynamic process through which the body maintains
blanace by adjusting internal and external stimuli.
What are 3 types of symbiotic relationships? - Mutualism, commensalism, and
parasitism
What is biogeochemical cycling and circulation of nutrients in the biosphere? - A
pathway by which a chemical substance moves through both the biotic
(biosphere) and abiotic (lithosphere, atmosphere, and hydrosphere) components
of Earth.
What is the importance of legumes and their role for nitrogen cycling? - In the
nitrogen cycle, legumes form a symbiotic relationship with certain types of
bacteria that are involved in a process known as "nitrogen fixation." The legumes
provide the microorganisms with the required energy to initiate the process,
, while the bacteria fixes captured nitrogen from the air into a usable form, which is
absorbed by the legumes for sustenance.

Carbon Cycle,
What is the role role of bacteria in nutrient cycling? - Decompose organic matter

What is the difference between habitat and niche? - A habitat is where an
organism or a community of organisms lives, and a niche is the specific place an
organism has in an ecosystem. A habit can help define the niche of particular
creature but cannot describe it entirely.
What is the difference in the organizational levels of an ecosystem? - A species is
a group of individuals that are genetically related and can breed to produce fertile
young. Individuals are not members of the same species if their members cannot
produce offspring that can also have children. The second word in the two word
name given to every organism is the species name. For example, in Homo
sapiens, sapiens is the species name.A population is a group of organisms
belonging to the same species that live in the same area and interact with one
another.A community is all of the populations of different species that live in the
same area and interact with one another. A community is composed of all of the
biotic factors of an area.An ecosystem includes the living organisms in an area
and the non-living aspects of the environment. An ecosystem is made of the
biotic and abiotic factors in an area. The biosphere is the part of the planet with
living organisms. The biosphere includes most of Earth, including part of the
oceans and the atmosphere.
What is an organism? - An organism is a living entity composed of many
interrelated components that work together to achieve a common goal.
Organisms come in a wide variety of sizes, shapes and lifestyles, but they all
share some similar traits. All organisms require food and excrete waste, grow,
reproduce and, ultimately, die.
What is the predator-prey interaction? - A predator is an organism that eats
another organism. The prey is the organism which the predator eats.
