- - - - discontinuous: completely inherited (such as blood type)
      - Continuous: takes place because of the interaction between genetics and the environment (such as height)
    - - adaptations: changes that living organism make to survive and adapt the environment to pass on their DNA
      - Def: nature select the genetic compositions / survival of the fittest
      - populations that don't survive successfully in their environment...
        
        endangered: vulnerable, threatened, low population
        
        extinct: dying of a species
  - - - Plants
        
        photosynthesis: the plant transfers atmospheric CO2 and water to oxygen and glucose (requires chlorophyll)
        
        feeds the animal
        
        After death:
        
        decomposition/decay: break down from big molecules to small molecules and recycled into simpler matter like CO2
        
        fossilization: when the dead organism is protected and under great pressure for thousands of years, it turns into a fossil
        
        combustion
        
        releases CO2
        
        must involve: heat, oxygen, and fuel
        
        excretion: when organisms excrete waste materials, they release carbon compounds when broken down by decomposers
        
        respiration: the plant obtains energy through oxygen, while producing atmospheric CO2 (requires mitochondria)
      - Animals
        
        respiration: the animal obtains energy through energy, while producing atmospheric CO2 (requires mitochondria)
      - Decomposers
        
        decomposes/break down the dead organisms and convert them into CO2
    - - Photosynthesis: carbon dioxide+water => oxygen + glucose
      - Respiration: oxygen+glucose => carbon dioxide + water+energy
      - Combustion: oxygen + fuel => carbon dioxide + water + product
