Study Notes

Molecular Biology and Levels of Organization

  • Biologists study the molecular biology of a cell at the cellular level of organization.
  • This level focuses on the structures and functions of cellular components, including proteins and nucleic acids.

Unity and Diversity in Biology

  • The unifying theme that explains the unity and diversity of life is evolution.
  • Evolution accounts for the similarities among different organisms while also explaining the adaptations that lead to diverse forms of life.

Function of Genes

  • The main function of genes in organisms is to store and transmit hereditary information.
  • Genes are responsible for coding the proteins that determine traits and functions necessary for life processes.

Classification of Organisms

  • Protists, fungi, plants, and animals are classified as eukaryotes.
  • Eukaryotic organisms have complex cells with membrane-bound organelles, including a nucleus.

Scientific Method

  • Biologists use the scientific method to make observations, form hypotheses, conduct experiments, and draw conclusions.
  • This systematic approach allows for the reproducibility and validation of scientific findings.
