Flashcards

Structure and Function

The relationship between a biological system's parts and its capabilities. Think of how a car's engine works together with the wheels and steering to allow it to move.

Energy Flow

The way energy is used, transferred, and transformed by living things. This includes how plants capture sunlight for photosynthesis, and how animals break down food for energy.

Information Flow

The transmission of genetic information from DNA to RNA to proteins. This includes how DNA is copied, how genes are expressed, and how cells create new molecules.

Interactions

The interactions between organisms within their environment, encompassing relationships like competition, predation, and symbiosis.

Evolution

The process by which life changes over time, driven by natural selection and other factors. This includes how species evolve, adapt to their environments, and diversify.

Regulation

Mechanisms that maintain stability and balance within biological systems. This includes how cells regulate their internal environment, how organisms control body temperature, and how ecosystems maintain a balance of populations.
