Study Notes
Emergent Property of Hydrogen Bonding in Water
- High specific heat capacity, allowing water to absorb and retain heat without drastic temperature changes.
- Cohesion between water molecules results in surface tension, beneficial for aquatic organisms.
Descent with Modification and Survival of the Fittest
- Variation among individuals in a population leads to differences in traits, influencing survival.
- Environmental factors create challenges that select for certain traits, leading to differential reproductive success.
- Adaptive traits are passed on, shaping species over generations.
Key Characteristic of Life Related to Metabolism
- Metabolism encompasses all chemical processes that convert food into energy, essential for growth, reproduction, and maintenance.
Influence on Darwin's Theory of Evolution
- Jean-Baptiste Lamarck proposed the concept of inherited traits acquired during an organism's lifetime, impacting Darwin’s understanding of evolution.
