The basic building blocks of all living things responsible for carrying out life processes.

Cells that lack a nucleus and membrane-bound organelles, such as bacteria.

Cells that contain a nucleus and membrane-bound organelles, found in plants, animals, fungi, and protists.

The study of how traits are passed down from parents to offspring.

Segments of DNA responsible for carrying specific traits.

A network of interactions between living organisms and their environment, involving both living and non-living components.

The flow of energy through an ecosystem, starting from the sun, involving producers, consumers, and decomposers.

The study of how organisms interact with their environment, focusing on populations, communities, ecosystems, and the biosphere.

An inherited trait that helps an organism survive and reproduce in a specific environment. It can be a physical structure, a behavior, or a physiological process.

The process by which individuals with traits that help them survive and reproduce better in a particular environment pass on those traits to their offspring, leading to changes in a population over time.

A broad classification grouping that includes organisms with similar characteristics. Examples include plants, animals, fungi, bacteria, and archaea.

The process of change in the characteristics of living organisms over generations. It is driven by natural selection and results in the diversity of life we see today.

The idea that all living organisms share a common ancestor, meaning we all evolved from the same original life form. This explains why we share some basic similarities.
