Summary Introduction
To determine:
The reason that organisms require energy and also to determine where does the energy come from.
Concept introduction:
Living organism organized by organic molecules and water, which forms membrane-bound cells. The organisms acquire and utilize energy to perform life functions such as homeostasis, reproduction, growth and development, and in evolution.
