Study Notes
Levels of Organization in Biology
- Biologists study life at multiple levels of organization: molecules, cells, organisms, populations, communities, ecosystems, and biosphere.
Unifying Themes in Biology
- The unifying feature that ties together the field of biology is the use of science to understand life.
- A major theme that explains the unity and diversity of life is the shared genetic code and the process of evolution.
Hereditary Information
- Genes encode hereditary information in organisms.
- Genes play a significant role in organisms, allowing them to move, grow, and reproduce.
Energy Processing
- The primary function of energy processing in organisms is to support life processes.
Scientific Practices in Biology
- Biologists use observations and questions to develop scientific explanations.
- Biologists use scientific practices to make observations, pose questions, and develop explanations.
Unity and Diversity of Life
- The unity of life is explained by the shared genetic code and evolutionary processes.
- The diversity of life is explained by the variations in genetic information and environmental adaptations.
