Study Notes
Biology - The Study of Life
- Biology is the study of life.
- The word biology comes from two words that mean "the study of life."
- Microscopes are essential tools for studying life, allowing us to see tiny structures.
- The Father of Microscopy is Anton van Leeuwenhoek.
- The bending of light as it passes through an object is called refraction.
- Transmission electron microscopes (TEMs) offer the highest magnification.
Chemistry of Life
- Fluorine is not a stable substance and wants to bond with another substance.
- Chemical reactions that give off heat are called exothermic reactions.
- Diffusion of molecules ceases when equilibrium is reached.
- Protein molecules are generally too large to pass through cell membranes.
- A disaccharide is formed when two sugars combine through dehydration synthesis.
- Lipids contain the most potential energy per spoonful.
Cells - The Building Blocks of Life
- The cell theory states that cells are the basic units of all living things, cells come from preexisting cells, and cells carry on the functions of all living things.
- Bacteria are unicellular organisms, while birds are multicellular organisms.
- Cristae of the mitochondria increase surface area.
- RNA is found in ribosomes, the nucleolus, and rough endoplasmic reticulum.
Photosynthesis - The Process of Making Food
- Most autotrophs get their food through photosynthesis.
- Chlorophyll's most important function is to absorb light.
- The light-dependent phase of photosynthesis splits water molecules.
- Glucose is synthesized in the Calvin cycle.
- Chemosynthetic and photosynthetic organisms are both autotrophic.
Cellular Respiration - The Process of Releasing Energy
- Cellular respiration refers to the breaking down of food to release energy.
- Water is involved in both photosynthesis and the electron transport chain.
- Ribosomal RNA (rRNA) has neither codons nor anticodons.
- Each messenger RNA (mRNA) codon codes for an amino acid.
- The manufacture of proteins by the cell is an example of anabolism.
The Nature of Science
- Science is a method of determining how to wisely use the world God gave us dominion over.
- Characteristics of all living things include being made up of organic compounds, composed of cells, requiring food, and maintaining a high level of organisation.
- The cell theory states that:
- Cells are the basic units of all living things.
- Cells come from preexisting cells.
- Cells carry on the functions of all living things.
- Chemical reactions that release heat are called exothermic reactions.
- The study of cells is called cytology.
- The point at which an organism functions best is called its optimal point.
- The collapse of a cell's cytoplasm is called plasmolysis.
- Eating is to phagocytosis as drinking is to pinocytosis.
Key Scientists and Their Discoveries
- Leeuwenhoek is known as the Father of Microscopy.
- Spallanzani demonstrated that the active principle of an infusion is not destroyed by boiling.
- Pasteur conducted the swan-necked flask experiment, refuting spontaneous generation of flies.
- Schleiden proposed that all plants are made of cells.
- Virchow proposed that all cells come from preexisting cells.
Important Terms
- Exons are RNA pieces that are put together to form mRNA.
- The Calvin cycle takes place in the chloroplast.
- Autophagy is a remodelling process of the cell.
- The light-dependent phase of photosynthesis requires sunlight and water.
- Transcription is the process of forming messenger RNA (mRNA) from DNA.
- Catabolism is a process that breaks down molecules and releases energy.
- Autophagy is the process of a cell digesting parts of itself that are no longer useful.
- tRNA brings amino acids from the cytoplasm to the ribosomes.
- DNA replication is the process of copying a DNA molecule.
- Translation is the process of making a protein from mRNA.
