• Matter and Energy (Chapter 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 17, 18, 2)
• All organisms (and cells) need a source of matter. Organisms cannot create matter from nothing, nor can they make matter disappear.
• All the "stuff" it takes to make the body of an organism (or of a cell) must come from somewhere. Plants get "stuff" from the environment. Animals get it from their food.
• Three types of "building blocks"—carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen—are especially important for life.
• All organisms need a source of energy. Plants use energy from the sun; animals get their energy from food.
• Everything an organism (or a cell) does requires energy. Nothing happens without energy.
