Study Notes
Metabolism and Energy
- Catabolic pathways release energy by breaking down complex molecules into simpler ones.
- The totality of an organism’s chemical reactions, resulting from interactions between molecules, is termed metabolism.
Photosynthesis and Energy Transformation
- Green plants transform light energy into chemical energy through the process of photosynthesis.
Cellular Functions
- The small chemical factory in which thousands of biochemical reactions occur is known as the cell.
- Some organisms convert energy to light in the phenomenon of bioluminescence.
Genetics and Inheritance
- Gregor Mendel studied pea plants to establish the foundational rules of inheritance patterns.
- The term 'chromosome' was coined for the first time by Heinrich Wilhelm Gottfried von Waldeyer-Hartz.
Chromosomes in Cell Division
- Chromosomes become visible during metaphase of cell division.
- Chromosomes consist of long DNA molecules and are found within the nucleus of a cell.
Mitosis
- Chromosomes are observed in their duplicated form during the stage of mitosis known as metaphase.
