    Study Notes

    Biological Hierarchy

    • Levels of organization include: cells, tissues, organs, organ systems, and organisms.
    • Correct sequence: cells, tissues, organs, organ systems, organism.

    Population and Ecology

    • In a swamp, alligators represent a population.
    • A community includes interactions among multiple populations.

    Experimental Variables

    • In experiments, the factor that is altered (e.g., temperature in goldfish respiration) is called the experimental variable.

    Causes of Stomach Ulcers

    • Stomach ulcers are primarily caused by the bacterium Helicobacter pylori.

    Development Stages

    • The process from fertilization to adulthood, including childhood and adolescence, is termed development.

    Organism Classification

    • Cells containing a nucleus belong to the domain Eukarya.

    Homeostasis Definition

    • Homeostasis is the ability of cells and organisms to maintain a relatively constant internal environment.

    Relatedness to Humans

    • Closely related organisms to humans include meerkats based on evolutionary lineage.

    Response to Stimuli

    • The sunflower’s movement to follow the sun is an example of response to stimuli.

    Science and Technology Perspectives

    • Science and technology can be considered value-neutral, recognizing risks alongside benefits.

    Data Collection in Experiments

    • Information collected during experiments or observations is known as data.

    Unifying Principle of Biology

    • The unifying principle of biological sciences is evolution.

    Theories in Biology

    • The theory of gravity is not considered a basic theory of biology.

    Study Designs

    • A double-blind study is one where neither the patient nor the examiner knows whether the treatment is being administered.

    Ecological Interaction Regions

    • The region where populations interact with their environment is termed an ecosystem.

    Kingdoms in Domain Eukarya

    • The domain Eukarya contains four kingdoms.

    Human Life Aspects

    • Traditions, beliefs, and values are aspects of human life.

    Origins of Cell Organelles

    • Possible origins of cell organelles in eukaryotes include engulfing heterotrophic bacteria to form mitochondria, but groups of prokaryotic cells living together is not an accepted origin.

    Functions of the Cytoskeleton

    • The cytoskeleton maintains cell shape, anchors organelles, and facilitates cellular movement but does not process proteins.

    Protein Fibers

    • Actin filaments are thin protein fibers used for cellular movement.

    Nuclear Pore Size

    • Nuclear pores in the nuclear envelope are larger than a ribosome.

    Glycolysis Evolution

    • Glycolysis is believed to have evolved early in life because it does not require oxygen and is present in most cells.

    Plasma Membrane Structure

    • The plasma membrane contains two layers of phospholipids.

    Organelle Functions

    • An organelle likened to a post office is the Golgi apparatus, as it processes and distributes proteins and lipids within the cell.
