Study Notes
Biological Organization
- Tissues are groups of similar cells that work together.
- Organs are composed of different tissues that perform a specific function.
- Organ systems include multiple organs to coordinate a particular job.
Increasing Complexity
- Correct order of increasing complexity: molecule, cell, tissue, organ.
Photosynthesis
- Photosynthesis is the process of converting solar energy into chemical energy.
Unifying Biological Theory
- Evolution explains the relationships among all living organisms.
Classification System
- Classification systems become more inclusive as they move from species to kingdom. Correct order is: genus, family, order, class, phylum, kingdom.
Chemical Reactions in Cells
- Metabolism encompasses all chemical reactions within a cell.
Genes
- Genes are contained in cells of both eukaryotes and prokaryotes. Genes are composed of DNA. Genes are passed from cell to cell and organism to organism.
Homeostasis
- Homeostasis is the process of maintaining a stable internal environment.
- Examples of factors maintained in homeostasis include: body temperature, blood cell count, waste excretion. Homeostasis is exhibited by both plants and animals.
Maintaining Homeostasis
- Organisms need to obtain materials and energy from their surroundings.
- Organisms need to respond to environmental changes or stimuli.
Domains of Life
- Humans belong to the Eukarya domain.
Ecological Levels of Organization
- Correct order of increasing complexity in ecological systems: population, community, ecosystem, biosphere.
Population Definition
- A population is all the organisms of the same species in a given area.
Evolutionary Relationships
- Organisms are related because they share a common evolutionary history.
Campus Organisms
- All organisms on a campus comprise a community.
Hypothesis vs. Theory
- Hypotheses are tentative explanations; theories are broader explanations supported by a substantial body of evidence.
