Study Notes
Biology - Test 1 & 2 Summary
- What is Biology? The study of life.
-
Characteristics of Life:
- Maintain stable internal environment (homeostasis)
- Evolves (changes and adapts)
- Made of cells
- Use energy (metabolize)
- Respond to external environment
- Reproduce and pass on genetic traits (DNA)
- Grow and change
-
Cells: Smallest unit performing life processes.
- Two categories: Prokaryotes and Eukaryotes
-
Prokaryotes:
- Lack membrane-bound nucleus and organelles
- Single-celled creatures
-
Eukaryotes:
- Have membrane-bound nucleus and organelles
- Contain organelles performing specific functions (e.g., food vacuole)
- Multicellular organisms
-
Levels of Organization (Multicellular Organisms):
- Cells (basic unit)
- Tissues (similar cells working together)
- Organs (tissues working together)
- Organ systems (organs working together)
- Organism (all organ systems working together)
-
Characteristic 2: Response to Stimulus:
- Stimulus (plural: stimuli) triggers a reaction in an organ or tissue.
- Examples: phototropism (light stimulus)
-
Characteristic 3: Homeostasis:
- Maintaining a stable internal environment in response to external changes.
- All homeostasis involves a response to stimuli, but not all responses are for homeostasis
-
Characteristic 4: Metabolism:
- All chemical reactions for energy and materials from the environment to perform life functions
- Major aspects:
- Nutrition
- Transport (moving materials in/out of cells)
- Use of nutrients (energy for functions, building materials, maintaining homeostasis)
- Excretion (removal of waste)
-
Characteristic 5: Growth and Development:
- Growth: increase in size
- Development: process of becoming a mature adult
- Cell Differentiation: Cells change from less specialized states to more specialized cell types.
- Cell Specialization: Cells develop specific functions.
-
Reproduction:
- Asexual: one parent, genetically identical offspring
- Sexual: two parents, genetically diverse offspring
- Evolution: Inherited characteristics change over generations due to variations in DNA.
- Natural Selection: Individuals with better traits for reproduction pass those genes more effectively.
Test 2 & Classification
-
What is Classification? Arranging organisms into groups based on similarities.
- Goes from general categories (e.g., Domain) to more specific categories (e.g., species).
-
Why do we classify?
- To organize a vast number of known organisms.
- To identify and discover new species.
-
Levels of Classification (from broadest to most specific):
- Domain
- Kingdom
- Phylum
- Class
- Order
- Family
- Genus
- Species
- Binomial Nomenclature: Two-word naming system for species (e.g., Homo sapiens).
Biology - Additional Information
- What is/is not alive: An entity needs all seven characteristics to be alive. Viruses and fire examples are not alive.
- Scientific Method: Steps for investigation:
- Question/problem
- Research
- Hypothesis
- Experiment
- Analyze data
- Conclusion
- Report results
- Magnification: How much larger an image appears compared to its actual size.
- Resolution: The ability to distinguish between two close points.
-
Microscopes: Tools used to magnify objects. Compound microscopes use lenses to magnify.
- Total magnification is found by multiplying the objectives and ocular lens magnifications.
- Low vs high power microscopes have different resolutions and fields of vision.
Cell Theory
- All living things are made of one or more cells.
- Cells are the basic unit of life.
- All cells come from pre-existing cells.
Endosymbiotic Theory
- Mitochondria and chloroplasts were once independent prokaryotic cells that merged into larger cells.
Test 3, SI Units, Measurement Conversions
- Standardized units for measurements.
- Includes information on prefixes (kilo, mega, etc)
Test 4 - Cell Structure
- Plasma membrane: Thin, two-layered structure surrounding all cells.
- Phospholipid bilayer: Main structural component of the cell membrane.
- Cell wall: Rigid outer layer of some cells (plant cells, fungi, some bacteria and protists), providing support.
- Cytoplasm: Fluid within the cell containing different components.
-
Cytoskeleton: Network of protein fibers within the cytoplasm that maintain cell shape and structure.
- Microtubules, Microfilaments, Intermediate Filaments.
- Organelles: Specialized cell structures (e.g., centrioles, cilia, flagella, nucleus, ribosomes, ER, Golgi, vesicles, lysosomes, mitochondria, chloroplast(s), vacuole).
