Cells are the basic unit of structure and function for an organism. The cell's plasma membrane possesses emergent properties that regulate the complex interactions of cells.
Key Concepts:
- Growth, reproduction and maintenance of the organization of living systems require free energy and matter.
- Growth, reproduction and dynamic homeostasis require that cells create and maintain internal environments that are different from their external environments.
- Organisms use feedback mechanisms to regulate growth and reproduction, and to maintain dynamic homeostasis.
- Growth and dynamic homeostasis of a biological system are influenced by changes in the environment.
- Many biological processes involved in growth, reproduction and dynamic homeostasis include temporal regulation and coordination.
