HARGO Foldable Get three sheets of paper – three different colors.
Top flap, write… Characteristics of Life
Homeostasis – (p 9) organism’s regulation of its internal environment to maintain conditions suitable for survival. Type Stimulus Response Benefit Plant:Maple tree shorter light Leaves drop - conserve H2O /day - avoid freezing Animal : Hummingbirds longer light migrate north - less competition /day for resources. H
Adaptation – (p 9) evolution of a structure, behavior, or internal process that enables an organism to respond to environmental factors and live to produce offspring. Type Adaptive structure advantage for or behavior survival Plant:Venus fly-trap - gets nutrients by - can live in bogs/swamps eating insects that have a high acidic pH Animal :Deer fawn - has white spots - it’s camouflaged while waiting for doe to return. Also lacks smell. A
Reproduction – (p. 7) production of offspring by an organism. Type Strategy Benefit Plant: Dandelion - pollen carried by bees seeds spread - seeds spread by wind further Animal : Mallard (duck) - Males court females, Avoids leaves female to raise attracting young by herself predators EC: # of offspring & survival rate in first year R
Growth – (p.8) increase in the amount of living material and formation of new structures in an organism. Type Size/mass as Size/mass at a seedling or full maturity at birth Plant:Western 400,000 seeds/lb 8-10 feet dia. Redcedar 200 ft. tall Animal :Bison 45-60 lbs 770-2200 lbs 6.5-11.5 ft. long 5-6 ft. @ shoulder G
Organization – (p. 7) orderly structure of cells in an organism. Type Phenotype* distinctive physical features Plant: Rose - flowers are multi-petalled, scented (or family of plants) & colorful, thorns on branches, shrub sized. Animal:Canines - long rostrum, canine teeth, overlapping (or family of animals) molars, 4-legged, built for running, vocal communication. *(p. 258) outward appearance of an organism, regardless of its genes.
