    Study Notes

    Unifying Themes in Biology

    • A unifying theme in the field of biology is the concept of evolution, which explains the diversity of life on Earth.

    Hereditary Information

    • The hereditary information is encoded in DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) molecules.

    Biological Functions

    • Energy and nutrients allow organisms to move, grow, and reproduce.

    Levels of Organization in Biology

    • Biologists study life at multiple levels of organization, including molecules, cells, organs, tissues, organisms, populations, communities, ecosystems, and biosphere.

    Scientific Methods in Biology

    • Biologists use observations and questions to make inferences about the natural world.

    Mathematics Subdisciplines

    • The major subdisciplines of modern mathematics include algebra, analysis, geometry, and number theory.

    Mathematical Activity

    • Most mathematical activity involves the study of mathematical structures, such as groups, rings, and fields.

    Mathematical Objects

    • Mathematical objects in modern mathematics consist of abstract entities, such as numbers, functions, and geometric shapes.

    Mathematical Proofs

    • A proof in mathematics consists of a logical and systematic argument that establishes the validity of a mathematical statement.

    Mathematical Entities

    • In modern mathematics, entities are stipulated to have certain properties, such as axioms, theorems, and lemmas.
