Study Notes
Characteristics of Living Things (Chapter 1)
- A response indicates how an organism reacts to a stimulus.
- All animals are classified as eukaryotes and multicellular organisms.
- Heterotrophs are organisms that obtain energy from other organisms.
- In multicellular organisms, organs are formed from various tissues and are structured into organ systems.
- Newly discovered species might be classified into orders within a broader class.
- DNA stores hereditary information, while ATP is crucial for energy maintenance in cells.
- Taxonomic hierarchy is organized as: Domain > Kingdom > Phylum > Class > Order > Family > Genus > Species.
- Homeostasis refers to the regulation of internal conditions such as temperature and water balance.
- Changes in an organism's DNA are termed mutations, which can impact the organism's traits.
- The concept of evolution describes how species change over time, not individuals.
- Eukaryotes are characterized by having cells with a membrane-bound nucleus.
- In the binomial nomenclature Trypanosoma brucei, the first term refers to genus, and the second term denotes species.
Biochemistry (Organic Molecules - Chapter 3)
- Polysaccharides like starch, glycogen, and cellulose are long polymers made from glucose.
- Monosaccharides are organic molecules consisting of carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen in a 1:2:1 ratio.
- Fructose is a component of sucrose, while disaccharides consist of two linked monosaccharide units via dehydration.
- Hydrolysis of carbohydrates yields simple sugars as products.
- Animals store carbohydrates mainly as glycogen.
- Fats and oils are comprised of glycerol and fatty acids.
- The term lipid includes substances such as fats and steroids, but lipids do not catalyze biochemical reactions, unlike enzymes.
- Proteins are formed from amino acids, which are fundamental for many cellular processes.
- Not all functions of proteins include forming the genetic code; they mainly play roles in structure, enzymatic reactions, and regulation.
- A unique aspect of amino acids is the presence of nitrogen.
- Denaturation of proteins can occur due to heat or heavy metal ions and might not always be reversible.
- A synthesizing cell can use proteins as enzymes, hormones, or structural materials, showing their versatile nature.
Importance of Water
- Water's necessity in the body stems from its myriad of functions, including acting as a solvent, temperature regulator, and participant in metabolic reactions.
