cell division that produces two daughter cells that are identical to the original parent cell
the increase in size of cell or number of cells in an organism
the process by which cells produce new cells like themselves, or by which an organism produces an offspring
all of the chemical processes in an organism that provide for the maintenance and functioning of the organism
the maintenance of a relatively constant state in the internal environment of an organism
the change by a living organism in response to a change in the environment

Adaptability - the change of a living organism to a change in the environment.

Growth - the increase in the size of a cell or number of cells in an organism.

Homeostasis - The maintenance of a relatively constant state in the internal environment of an organism.

Metabolism - all of the chemical processes in an organism that provide for the maintenance and functioning of the organism.

Mitosis - cell division that produces two daughter cells that are identical to the original parent cell.

Reproduction - the process by which cells produce new cells like themselves, or by which an organism produces and offspring

Explanation:

1. Adaptability is when an animal has to adapt to its surroundings. For example, a polar bear adapted to its environment by growing a greasy coat that sheds water after swimming, to help reduce heat loss.

2. Growth is simply an increase in the organism's body size and mass over time.

3. While it may sound complicated, Homeostasis is the ability to keep a stable internal state that persists despite changes in the world outside. For example, if you have ever been outside with a dog on a hot summer day, the dog will start to pant. Dogs only have a couple of sweat glands in their paws, which is not great for lowering their body temperature. Panting allows fresh air to cool the blood vessels in the dog's nose. This cooler blood is then circulated to the rest of the body.

4. Metabolism may sound like another hard term but it is just a scientific word for the process of when your body turns what you eat and drink into energy.

5. Mitosis is the process of cell division when one cell creates 2 identical daughter cells. This process is very important because it provides new cells for growth and replaces old and dying cells.

6. reproduction is when organisms reproduce or have young. Single-celled organisms use the mitosis process to reproduce. Multi-celled organisms use sex.

Hope this helped you! Have a great day!

it cools slower in the earth meaning the crystals have more time to form than lava on the surface
