| Adjustment to environmental conditions, modification of an organism or its parts that makes ot more fit for existence under the conditions of the environment. | Adaptation |
| The smallest particle of an element that can exist either alone or in combination. | Atom |
| A substance that dissolves in water with the formation of hydroxyl ions and reacts with an acid to form a salt and water; turn litmus paper blue. | Base |

| Any of more than 100 fundamental substances that consist of atoms of only one kind and that singly or in combination constitute all matter. | Element |
| The capacity of doing work, can be in various forms such as nuclear, sound, thermal, and light. | Energy |
| The sum of the qualities and potentialities genetically derived from one's ancestors; the relation between successiveness generations, by which characteristics persist. | Heredity |
| A state of equalibrium between different but interrelated functions or elements, as in an organism or group. | Homeostasis |
| Any of two or more species of atoms of a chemical element with the same atomic number and nearly identical chemical behavior, but with differing atomic mass or mass number and different physical properties. | Isotope |
| Energy associated with motion. | Kinetic energy |
| The property of a body that is a measure of its inertia and that is commonly taken as a taken as a mesure of the amount of material it contains causing it to have weight in a gravitational field. | Mass |
| Material substance that occupies space, has mass and is composed of atoms consisting of protons, neutrons, and electrons that constitutes the observable universe, and that is interchangeable with energy. | Matter |
| The smallest particle of a substance that retains all the properties of the substance and is composed of one or more atoms. | Molecule |
| The principle that in a given environment individuals having characteristics that and survival will produce more offspring, and the proprotion of individuals having such characteristics will increase with each succeeding generation. | Natural selection |

| Involving the measurement of quantity or amount. | Quantitative |
| Involving quality or kind. | Qualitative |
| The physical and chemical processes by which an organism supplies its cells and tissues with the oxygen needed for metabolism and relieves them of the carbon dioxide formed in entergy-producing reactions. | Respiration |
| Principles and procedures for the sytematic pursuit of knowledge involving the recognition and formulation of a problem, the collection of data through observation and experiment, and the formulation and testing of hypotheses. | Scientific method |
