Study Notes
- Biology is the scientific study of life in all its forms on Earth.
- Unity: All life forms share a common heritage, a common chemistry, genetic code, and basic life processes.
- Diversity: Living things come in many different forms and functions, shaped by evolution over long periods.
- Human beings are a part of the diverse living world.
- Unicellular organisms, like bacteria and Paramecium, are microscopic and simple, while multicellular organisms are complex and larger.
- Prokaryotes, like bacteria, have no nucleus, while eukaryotes have a nucleus and are more complex.
- Plants are photosynthetic and make their own food, while others do not.
- Definition of life: Organized from atoms to the biosphere, acquire materials and energy, grow and develop, reproduce, are homeostatic, respond to stimuli, and have adaptation.
- Organization of living systems begins with atoms, which make up molecules, and the cell is the smallest structural and functional unit.
- Multicellular organisms have multiple cells and tissues, which form organs and organ systems.
- Taxonomy is the science of classification to group organisms into categories from larger (more inclusive) to smaller (least inclusive) categories: Domain, Kingdom, Phylum, Class, Order, Family, Genus, and Species.
