Study Notes
Biology
Definition: Biology is the scientific study of life and living organisms, including their structure, function, growth, evolution, distribution, and taxonomy.
Branches of Biology:
- Botany: Study of plants and plant-like organisms
- Zoology: Study of animals and animal-like organisms
- Microbiology: Study of microorganisms, such as bacteria and viruses
- Ecology: Study of the relationships between organisms and their environment
- Genetics: Study of heredity, genes, and genetic variation
- Biochemistry: Study of the chemical processes that occur within living organisms
Key Concepts:
- Cells: Basic structural and functional units of life
- DNA: Molecule that contains genetic information
- Evolution: Process of change in species over time through natural selection and genetic drift
- Ecosystems: Communities of living organisms and their physical environment
- Homeostasis: Ability of living organisms to maintain a stable internal environment despite changes in the external environment
Biological Molecules:
- Carbohydrates: Energy source for cells (e.g., sugars, starches)
- Proteins: Building blocks of cells (e.g., enzymes, hormones)
- Lipids: Energy storage and structural components (e.g., fats, oils)
- Nucleic Acids: Contain genetic information (e.g., DNA, RNA)
Biological Processes:
- Photosynthesis: Process by which plants convert light energy into chemical energy
- Respiration: Process by which cells generate energy from glucose
- Metabolism: Set of chemical reactions that occur within cells to maintain life
- Homeostatic Regulation: Process by which living organisms maintain a stable internal environment
