Essential Question: How can we categorize all living things in the world? All living organisms are made up of cells. Plants and animals have shared characteristics. Label parts of a cell and identify their functions. Compare/contrast parts of plants and animals. Classify plants and animals based upon shared characteristics. warm-blooded, cold-blooded, vertebrate, invertebrate, cell, organism, nucleus, cell membrane, cell wall, cytoplasm, species, kingdom, birds, mammals, reptiles, amphibians, fish, insects, vascular, nonvascular, chlorophyll, photosynthesis, botanists, spore producers, seed producers, flowering, nonflowering. 5
