Study Notes
Biological Evolution and Origin of Life
- Biological evolution refers to the slow, gradual change in organisms from one kind to another over time
- Uniformitarianism suggests that the earth is very old and has been changing very slowly over time
Fossils and Paleontology
- Paleontology is the study of fossils
- Fossils provide evidence for biological evolution and the history of life on earth
Theistic Evolution
- Theistic evolution is the belief that evolutionary science is correct in its narrative of earth origins and the development of life
Microbiology and Antibiotics
- Opportunistic pathogens are antibiotics that can destroy good microbes in the digestive system, leaving the body open to harmful microbes
Cellular Biology
- Contractile vacuoles are storage containers that rid excess water to maintain healthy pressure and control osmosis in cells
- Homologous structures are characteristics shared between different organisms, suggesting they have common ancestors
Botany
- Plants can be classified as vascular or non-vascular
- Photosynthesis is the process by which plants produce their own food
- Secondary growth refers to the increase in diameter of plants
- Vascular plants have systems for transporting water and nutrients
Anatomy and Physiology
- Bronchi are the large tubes that connect the trachea (windpipe) and direct air to the right and left lungs
- Hormones are carried through the bloodstream
Taxonomy and Classification
- Baraminology is the study of created kinds, organized by common ancestry
- Taxonomy is the classification of organisms and is considered changeable as new information becomes available
Immunity and Disease
- Cell-mediated immunity refers to the immune response in which T cells fight antigens
- Opportunistic pathogens are organisms that can become pathogenic following a perturbation to their host
Respiratory System
- The regulation of body breathing rate is triggered by the pH of the blood, which triggers the respiratory center
Kingdoms and Phyla
- The two main kingdoms are Animalia and Plantae
- The biblical age of the earth is estimated to be around 4,000-6,000 years
Ossification and Bone Formation
- Ossification is the process of bone formation
Characteristics of Organisms
- Mammals have four-chambered hearts
- Baraminology suggests that organisms can be classified by created kind
Feathers and Birds
- There are two types of bird feathers: contour and down feathers
- Down feathers insulate, while contour feathers give birds their round characteristics
