PURCOM

• adaptation Refers to modification that promote the likelihood to survival. Living things not suited to the new conditions either made to a better environment of changs
• hibernate sleep for a long time
• dormancy Limited action. They sleep but not so long
• camouflage Hiding
• mexico monarch butterfly group of butterfly to migrate if the season is change
• pheromones affect the behavior of the receiving individuals. (umiihi sa place because of their territory and to attract)
• chromatophores it means color. dots sa frog na nagpapalit kulay. ginagamit for survival
• sotanic leaf-tailed gecko parang tipaklong and chameleon
• insectivorous carnivorous animal or plant that eat insects. this plants derived most of their nutrients from the insects that they trap and consume
• specialized leaves leaves undergo distinct modification to confer survival advantages to the plant
• definite chemical composition this one is need to all microorganisms. all organisms are basically made up of similar. it can be inorganic or organic molecules
• definite form and size living things produce offspring similar to themselves. all organisms belonging to the same species are alike with a certain degree of variations and differences. (ex: pag pinanganak kang aso lalaki kang aso)
• metabolism refers to all chemical and energy transformation that occur in cells as they carry out life process. can be anabolism or catabolism. a must in order to maintain their organization and to grow and reproduce
• ATP adenosine triphosphate energy currency of the cell. the source of energy for use and storage at the cellular level.
• catabolism breaking down process (release energy)
• anabolism building process (consume energy)
• growth and development refers to an increase. accomplished through a complex series of chemical process (inter suspection) occurs when constructive activities occur at a faster rate than destructive activities.
• growth seen outside (weight, height)
• develop grow in general (maturity)
• irritability refers to the ability to react to any environmental change or stimulus from often results to movement. another form of response is when living things find energy and nutrients by interacting with their environment. the ability to respond helps ensure the survival of organisms
• stimuli factors in the environment which caus3 an organism to respond
• taxis (animals)or tropism (plants) one directional movement in response to stimuli like water, light, gravity etc. the automatic directing towards or away from the source of the stimuli. the reactionay be positive or negative
• thermotaxis thermotropism response to temperature
• heliotaxis heliotropism response to sunlight

  ex: sunflower or plants
• thigmotaxis thigmotropism response to contact or pressure of touch

  ex: makahiya plant (mimosa pudica)
• phototaxis phototropism response to artificial light
• galvanotaxis galvanotropism response to electricity. the directional growth of plant, in response to an electrical stimulus.
• geotaxis geotropism response to gravity
• rheotaxis rheotropism response to air or water current
• hydrotaxis hydrotropism response to water
• chromotaxis chromotropism response to color
• going to source positive
• going away to source negative
• succulent plant with thick fleshy tissues adapted to water storage
• positive geotropism if going into the source. always find the source
• negative geotropism if not following the source
• auxins makes the stem, root grow upward
• reproduction lifes come only form life. on order for life to continue, living things must be able to produce other living things of their kind. could be sexual or asexual
• asexual reproduction reproduction does not involve the fusion of gametes or change in the number of chromosomes
• echinoderm type of sea creature with raised areas or sharp points onits skin and a body made of equal parts arranged around the center
