Bios = life | ology = study of
8 Characteristics
1.The cell - the smallest unit of lifeUnicellular = 1 celled
Multicellular =many celled
2. Reproduction
Sexual = DNA from 2 different parents
Asexual = single parent (cloning, budding)
3. Genetic Code – directions for
inheritance (DNA)
4. Growth and DevelopmentGrowth = getting larger
Development = changing shape and structure
Differentiation = cells look different and perform different functions
5. Use Energy
Metabolism = chemical reactions in the body
Animals eat to obtain energy
Plants photosynthesize
6. Response to environment
Stimulus = a signal
Response = a reaction
7. Internal Balance
Homeostasis – maintaining constant internal
conditions (sameness)
8. Evolution - species change over time
Branches of Biology
Zoology = animals
Paleontology = ancient life
Cytology = cells
Botany = plants
Entomology = insects
