    Study Notes

    Branches of Biology

    • Botany: study of plants
    • Zoology: study of animals
    • Microbiology: study of microorganisms (bacteria, viruses, etc.)
    • Ecology: study of interactions between organisms and their environment
    • Biochemistry: study of chemical processes within living organisms
    • Molecular Biology: study of the structure and function of biological molecules (DNA, proteins, etc.)

    Cell Biology

    • Cell Structure:
      • Plasma membrane: separates cell from environment
      • Cytoplasm: jelly-like substance inside cell
      • Nucleus: contains genetic material (DNA)
      • Mitochondria: generates energy for cell
    • Cellular Processes:
      • Metabolism: conversion of energy and nutrients
      • Photosynthesis: process by which plants produce energy from sunlight
      • Cell division: process by which cells reproduce

    Genetics

    • DNA Structure:
      • Double helix model
      • Composed of nucleotides (A, C, G, T)
    • Genetic Inheritance:
      • Dominant and recessive traits
      • Mendel's laws of inheritance
    • Genetic Variation:
      • Mutation: change in DNA sequence
      • Genetic drift: random change in gene frequency

    Evolution

    • Theory of Evolution:
      • Descent with modification
      • Natural selection
      • Speciation
    • Evidence for Evolution:
      • Fossil record
      • Comparative anatomy
      • Molecular biology

    Ecosystems

    • Ecosystem Components:
      • Producers (plants, algae)
      • Consumers (herbivores, carnivores, omnivores)
      • Decomposers (bacteria, fungi)
    • Energy Flow:
      • Energy pyramid
      • Food chains and webs
    • Ecosystem Services:
      • Oxygen production
      • Carbon sequestration
      • Climate regulation
