 * 1) Multicellular - Organism composed of more than one cell = Animals and Plants
 * 2) Unicellular - Single-celled organism = Archaea and Bacteria, and some fungi and protiest
 * 3) Autotroph - Organism that make its own energy with sunlight or chemicals = Plants and photosynthesis (Phototroph), Chemo-synthetic Bacteria (Chemotrophs)
 * 4) Heterotroph - Organism that obtains energy by consuming other organisms = Animalia and Fungi
 * 5) Growth - Increase in amount of living matter, Birth to Adulthood
 * 6) Development - Formation of new structure, Conception to Birth
 * 7) Adaptation - Structure that enables an organism to better survive in its environment, Ducks and wet feet
 * 8) Stimulus and Response - Environmental condition that causes an organism to react, Animal running towards light
 * 9) Homeostasis - Maintenance of constant internal environment, Humans drinking water
 * 10) Asexual - Reproduction that does not involve the exchange of genetic information, Fungi and Protiest and some Animalia and Plantae
 * 11) Sexual - Method of reproduction involving the exchange of genetic information, Animalia and Plantae
 * 12) Pollunation - Sexual reproduction of plants
 * 13) Vegetative Propogation - Asexual reproduction in plants
 * 14) Binary Fussion - When an unicellular organism splits (Bacteria, Protiests)
 * 15) Fragmentation - A part of a body that will grow another animal--asexual
 * 16) Budding - A form of asexual reproduction where a new individual grows off of the parent organism -- Fungi, Asexual
 * 17) Phototroph - Plants making its own energy by photosynthesis
 * 18) Chemotroph - Bacteria getting its own energy by chemo-synthesis
 * 19) Abiotic - Non-living factors in an ecosystem. Ex = Air, water, rocks, etc.
 * 20) Biotic - Living factors in an ecosystem. Ex = Humans, plants, insects, bacteria, etc.
 * 21) Evolution - Living things change over time as a group


 * 1) Biosphere - The part of Earth that contains all ecosystems
 * 2) Ecosystem - Biotic and Abiotic factors work together
 * 3) Community - All of the populations in a specific geographic area - Ex = All single-specied insects under a rock
 * 4) Population - A group of similar organisms that can mate and produce fertile offspring.
 * 5) Organism - All of the organ systems working as a whole to create an individual that can respond to the environment and maintain homeostasis.
 * 6) Organ Systems - Collection of organs that carry out a specific function
 * 7) Organs - Collection of tissues that carry out the same function. EX = Heart/Lungs
 * 8) Tissues - Groups of cells that carry out the same function. EX = Epithelial Tissue (Skin)
 * 9) Cells - Smallest unit of life! Made up of molecules and organelles. EX = Animals
 * 10) Organelles - Structures composed of molecules found inside cells that have a specific function. EX = Mitochondria
 * 11) Molecules - Different atoms joined together. EX = DNA
 * 12) Atoms - Smallest unit of matter.
