Note: Can you please explain it clearly and give examples/scenarios. Answer is not less than 10 sentences each. Thank you!
Reproduction is when new organisms are produced by parents and the parents pass:
•genetic information along to their offspring.
•their wisdom along to their offspring
•basic needs along to their
offspring
•knowledge along to their offspring
List the important factors that distinguish living organisms from non-living organisms. (Life necessities: energy, evolutionary adaptation, grow/develop, reproduce, respond to environment, regulation to maintain homeostasis, order)

- Leonardo da Vinci's Vitruvian Man Leonardo da Vinci's Vitruvian Man shows how the proportions of the human body fit perfectly into a circle or a square. With these proportions, your arm span (distance from fingertip to fingertip) should be equal to your height (distance from head to heels). In this laboratory exercise, you will see if this is true! In this activity you will explore the legitimacy of Vitruvius' theory by developing a hypothesis regarding the Vitruvian Man. Background Information Leonardo da Vinci, a famous Italian renaissance inventor and painter, was greatly influenced by a man named Vitruvius. Vitruvius was a Roman engineer and architect during the first century B.C. Vitruvius discovered a formula to model what he thought were ideal proportions for a man. Da Vinci used this ideal model when drawing the Vitruvian Man in about the year 1490. The drawing shows a man standing in a square, which is inside a circle. The man has two pair of outstretched arms and two pair of…arrow_forwardDescribe 3 characteristics of living systems.

Then, it converts that into sugar which can be used as energy for the plant. 4. Growth and Development 5. Homeostasis 6.

- The properties and processes of life would be correctly described by which of the following statements? Inherited information controls the pattern of growth but not the development of an organism. Organisms process energy during the course of their lives. Life is disordered. An organism's adaptations evolve over 2 or 3 generations. Organisms are not able to regulate their internal environment.arrow_forwardSkill 1: Applying The Scientific Method Science is the pursuit and application of knowledge to understanding of the natural world by following a systematic methodology based on evidence. The scientific method is an approach to gaining insights about the way nature works by creating and testing scientific hypotheses. A hypothesis is a proposed testable explanation of a natural phenomenon, usually based on prior knowledge and original observations. A hypothesis forms a basis of predictions regarding properties or behavior of a natural ei system under study. Once formulated, the predictions are tested by a carefully designed experiment, additional observations, or simulations, and the merits of the hypothesis are evaluated in light of the data. The hypothesis is falsified when data of differ from the predictions and, consequently, it is either modified or rejected. The modified hypothesis is then retested, further modified iteratively, until its predictions Sys are consistent with the…arrow_forwardActivity 2: Fill Me!
