Study Notes
Cell Biology
- A cell is the smallest unit of a living organism that performs all its functions.
Microbiology
- Microbiology is the study of microscopic organisms.
Digestive System
- Nutrient absorption occurs in the small intestine.
Reproduction
- Budding is an asexual reproduction method where a new organism grows from an outgrowth.
Respiratory System
- The trachea, or windpipe, is part of the respiratory system.
Proteins & Disease
- Prions, which cause disease, are made up of proteins.
Single-celled Organisms
- Unicellular organisms lack membrane-bound organelles.
Genetics
- The nucleus contains the organism's genetic material.
Fungi
- Yeast feeds on decaying organic matter.
Human Anatomy
- A human adult has 206 bones.
- An infant has approximately 150 bones.
Taxonomy
- Carolus Linnaeus is considered the "Father of Nomenclature".
Skin
- Melanin is the pigment that determines skin color.
Circulatory System
- Arteries carry oxygen-rich blood to the body.
Photosynthesis
- Light is the energy source for photosynthesis.
Classification
- Phylum is a taxonomic rank that includes other taxa.
Plant Reproduction
- Cross-pollination involves pollen transfer between different flowers
Insect Development
- Insects undergo metamorphosis during their life cycles.
Animal Characteristics
- Snakes are cold-blooded animals.
Ecology
- Mutualism is a symbiotic relationship where both organisms benefit
- Starfish are not fish and belong to a different group.
- Homeostasis is the process of maintaining stable internal conditions.
- Organisms need specific attributes that support their existence
- Examples:
- in food-chain: Plant > Rat > Hawk
- Secondary Consumers: the organism that eat the primary consumers
Ecology (cont'd)
- A biome includes all other levels of biological organization.
- Estivation is a period of reduced activity in animals during summer.
- Habitat is the natural environment where an animal lives
- Basic needs of living things include air, water, food, and habitat.
