I. Definition – biology:- The study of life
- bio = life- ology = the study of- All living things – 8 life functions
1.Transport:- absorption and circulation of materials
2.Respiration:- chemical process- how we obtain energy from food
3. Excretion:- removal of metabolic (cellular, liquid) wastes
4. Synthesis: (to make) - chemical activity- smaller molecules bigger molecules
#5 Regulation:- control and coordination of life activities- Nervous System + Endocrine System =
Regulation

AIM: How do organisms stay “healthy?”DO NOW: you have 7 MINUTES to complete the living/nonliving chart!
-Go around the room and find 5 living and 5 nonliving “things” and tell me 3 REASONS WHY you decided each was alive or not!
