-
what dose DNA provide to a living organism
information. This information is necessary to turn lifeless chemicals into a living organism.
-
compared to other molecules is DNA a big or small
big. DNA is one of the biggest molecules in Creation.
-
does DNA store kits information more efficiently or less efficiently than a computer
more
-
which part stores the information
nucleotides *Remember, the information of a living organism is stored as a sequence of nucleotides.
-
which part forms the double helix structure

-
what is the name of the chemical that plants use to make food
glucose (plants use photosynthesis to make this)
-
what is name the chemical that plants store their food as
starch
-
what is a biosphere
when you have a living system that is isolated from its surroundings and its cotents continue to grow to live and grow that system is called a biosphere
-
metabolism requires food and what else
oxygen
-
metabolism produces energy and what else
water,carbon dioxide
-
an organisms receptors don't work, which criteria will it not be able to perform (write out the criterion)
3. all life forms can sense changes in their surroundings and response to those changes
-
which will have more babies the 2 sharks or the 2 anchovy
anchoy
-
if the cat cant reproduce dose this mean its not alive
it is alive because it has cell that reproduce
-
is the population on earth becoming a problem
no *The speed at which the human population is increasing has been slowing every year. Also, there is more food per person today than ever before. Finally, the cost of raw materials is lower than ever. Thus, there are no indications which point to trouble.
