• Organic compound carbon-containing chemical compound
• Carbon the backbone of life
• Who proposed the source of life's building blocs hypothesis?

  Stanley Miller and Harold Urey
• • Hydrothermal vent an area where mineral-rich water is heated by geothermal energy that streams out through a rocky opening in the seafloor 
• Delivery from space The meteorites from other space brought organic monomers to the planet Earth
• Creation Theory Biblical theory of the origin of life wherein a supreme being created all life forms on the planet
• Theory of Abiogenesis/ Spontaneous Generation Theory Life arose on Earth via spontaneous natural means due to conditions present at the time with the help of non-living matter
• Theory of biogenesis States that life came from pre-existing life by reproduction and not from non-living material
• Theory of Cathatrophism States that God created the living things one by one and each encountered a catastrophe that completely destroyed them.
• Who proposed the Theory of Catastrophism?

  Georges cuvies and Orbigny
• What are the 7 continents?

  North America, South America, Europe, Asia, Africa, Australia, Antarctica
• Who proposed the continental drift theory?

  Alfred Wegener
• Puzzle-like fit of the continent The edges of some continents look as if they would fit together like a puzzle 
• Fossil Clues Believes that in South America and Africa, the reptiles lived on the same continent when the continents were connected
• Climate Clues Wegener believed that these continents were covered with ice near Earth’s South Pole at one time
• Rock Clues Similar rock structures are found on different continents
• Plate Tectonic explains the features and movement of Earth’s surface in the present and the past 
• Age of the rocks Youngest rocks located at the ridges and rocks are increasingly older as you move farther from the ridge
• Magnetic Stripes Rocks that make up the ocean floor lie in a pattern of magnetized stripes which hold a record the reversals in Earth’s magnetic field
• Molten Materials Rock shaped like pillows show that molten materials have erupted again and again from cracks along the mid-ocean ridge and cooled quickly
• Living things are made up of Cells Cell perform different functions in nutrition, respiration, and reproduction
• Prokaryotes single-cell or unicellular organism, and no membrane-bound nucleus, mitochondria, and other organelles
• Eukaryotes multi-cellular organisms such as animals, membrane-bound  nucleus (contains DNA), mitochondria, and other organelles
• Metabolism refers to the building up and breaking down processes in a living organism
• • Anabolism refers to the building up of the substances or chemicals needed by the body to grow, energy, and repair tissue
• • Catabolism refers to the breaking down of complex substances like food to extract energy which needed or used by anabolic reaction
• Growth the process of becoming larger
• Develop the process of change that occurs during an organism’s life, producing a more complex organism
• Living things Respond to Stimuli Refer to the signals that cause an organism to produce a reaction or response
• • Homeostasis refers to the internal balance of the body such as temperature and body fluid for body’s optimal function
• Living things Interact Living things are social beings. They interact to their fellow living things
• • Reproduction sexual reproduction with other same species
• Exchange of Gases trees give oxygen and turn humans release carbon dioxide
• • Prey and Predator Relationship food chain and food web of animals for survival
• Reproduction the ability of organisms to produce offspring asexually or sexually
• • Sexual requires the gametes (sexual cells) of parents to undergo union.
• • Asexual produces an offspring which is completely identical with the parents such as bacteria and plants
• Adaptation the organism’s response toward a stimulus that help them to survive
• • Evolution the gradual change in an organism’s characteristics and structure over a longer period of time as a response to the changing 
• Organ The organism’s body is very organized in structure
