Study Notes
Cell Theory and Organisms
- All living organisms consist of cells, which are the basic structural units of life.
- Cells can function independently or as part of larger multicellular organisms.
Photosynthesis Misconception
- Photosynthesis primarily occurs in plants, algae, and some bacteria, not in animals.
- This process converts light energy into chemical energy, producing glucose and oxygen.
Genetic Material
- DNA (Deoxyribonucleic Acid) is the hereditary material in humans and almost all other organisms.
- DNA carries genetic information necessary for the growth, development, functioning, and reproduction of living things.
Cell Division
- Mitosis is a type of cell division that produces two daughter cells that are genetically identical to the parent cell.
- This process is crucial for growth, development, and repair in multicellular organisms.
Biochemistry of Proteins
- Proteins are composed of amino acids, not nucleotides; nucleotides are the building blocks of DNA and RNA.
- Proteins play essential roles in biological processes, including catalysis, structure, transport, and signaling.
