Scientists have named and cataloged around 1.3 million species
It is estimated that there are about 8.7 million species on the planet
133 new animal species discovered last year
Himantura tutul species of Leopard-skin Whiprays - found in the Indio-Pacific region
Lavasoa dwarf lemur – found in the forests of southern Madagascar
Ctenotus ora or coastal plains skink – found in Western Australia

Malaria Parasite that destroys red blood cells in the
liver Each day malaria claims the lives of 3,000
children in Africa – one every 30 seconds Labs with 3,000 tray each with over 7,000
mosquito larvae which are sorted by gender so males can be sterilized
Extract from the bark of an Enantia chlorantha tree growing in a Cameroonian rain forest is used as a traditional remedy for the raging fevers

Cells –basic unit of structure and function
The “Building Blocks” of life
Some organisms are
composed of a single
cell
Other organisms are
composed of many
cells

Displays Organization
Begins with atoms and molecules and increases in complexity

Growth – Increase in mass
Development – Results in different abilities
Grows and Develops

Energy is required for all life processesOrganisms must take in food or make their
own food
Requires Energy

All organisms keep internal conditions stable through the process of homeostasis
Examples: temperature, pH, salinity
Maintains Homeostasis

Favorable characteristics are selected and passed on to offspring
Adaptations are inherited changes that occur over time that help the species survive
Adaptation Over Time
