Study Notes
Unifying Theme in Biology
- The unifying theme in biology that explains the unity and diversity of life is evolution.
Basic Unit of Life
- The basic unit of life that all organisms are made up of is cells.
Levels of Organization in Biology
- The molecular level of organization in biology involves the study of molecular biology of a cell.
Characteristics of Life
- Organisms require energy to move, grow, and reproduce.
Scientific Method in Biology
- Biologists use observation and questioning to make scientific inquiries.
Respiratory System
- Gas exchange occurs in the alveoli of the lungs in mammals and reptiles.
- The trachea is the largest airway in the respiratory system.
- The purpose of the respiratory system in animals is to facilitate gas exchange for cellular respiration.
- In birds, the atria (chambers of the heart) play a crucial role in the respiratory system.
- Alveoli, with their rich blood supply, enable efficient gas exchange in the lungs.
