• Organisms have basic needs. They can survive only in environments in which their needs can be met. (K-4)
• Each plant or animal has different structures that serve different functions in growth, survival, reproduction. (K-4)
• All organisms must be able to obtain and use resources, grow, reproduce, and maintain stable internal conditions in a constantly changing external environment. (5-8)
