Study Notes
Plant Response
- Mimosa pudica, also known as the sensitive plant, displays a rapid response to touch by folding its leaves.
- The plant returns to its normal state after a few minutes.
Reproduction
- All organisms reproduce, either sexually or asexually.
- Even single-celled organisms like amoebas and paramecia reproduce to create similar organisms.
Growth and Development
- Organisms grow and develop following the instructions encoded in their genes.
- These genes guide cellular growth and development, ensuring that offspring inherit characteristics similar to their parents.
Regulation
- Organisms are complex and require multiple regulatory mechanisms to manage internal functions, respond to stimuli, and adapt to environmental pressures.
