1. Develop a timeline in which you predict 10 of the most important advances that may occur in science during the next century. Don't forget to add dates to your timeline! 2. Give an example of a living organism and how this organism meets at least six characteristics of life. You must be very specific for your organism in your descriptions to demonstrate your understanding of the characteristics of life. For example, you cannot just say "a dog obtains energy by eating." You need to explain what kinds of food a dog eats, what type of consumer it is, etc.
3. The four main groups of macromolecules are important to our bodies for various reasons. Explain the functions of each of these groups of compounds in your body.
4. There have been major developmental milestones in Earth’s history as well as mass extinction events. Do a little research on an organism that has gone extinct because of human impact. Answer the following questions:
What is the organism?
Where was it found?
What caused it to become extinct?

parasites can detrimentally affect their host, but also must not allow their host to die before they can complete their life cycle. some parasites have complex life cycles with many different hosts, and have had to find ways of persisting in many different environments during the change from one host to another. ectoparasites live outside the body of the host, and can more easily  disperse, but are  more exposed to predators, parasites, parasitoids. endoparasites live inside the body of the host, and are therefore protected from the outside environment. but they can be  attacked by the host's immune system. they have therefore developed  mechanisms for dispersal such as  complex life cycles.
