Unity and Diversity of Life
- The unifying theme in biology that explains the unity and diversity of life is evolution.
Genes and Organisms
- Genes play a crucial role in organisms as they determine the characteristics and traits of an organism.
Levels of Organization
- Biologists can study life at multiple levels of organization, including molecules, cells, tissues, organs, and ecosystems.
Classification of Organisms
- Eukarya is the domain that includes protists, fungi, plants, and animals.
Energy Processing
- The primary function of energy processing in organisms is to generate energy for cellular activities.
Study of Tissues
- Histology is the study of tissues.
History of Histology
- Marcello Malpighi is considered the 'Father of Histology'.
Plant Tissues
- The three broad categories of plant tissues are dermal, ground, and vascular tissues.
Microscopy
- The electron microscope has enhanced the detail that can be observed in tissues.
Etymology of 'Tissue'
- The word 'tissue' is derived from the Old French word 'tissu', meaning 'cloth' or 'fabric'.
