Study Notes

Biosphere - Biology

  • Biosphere: all living things and their environment
  • Organic substances: complex compounds containing carbon
    • Examples: plants and animals
  • Inorganic substances: simple compounds, no carbon
    • Examples: gases, rocks, and water
  • Carbohydrates, lipids, proteins, and nucleic acids
  • Water and mineral salts.
  • CELLS
    • Cell wall
    • Cytoplasm
    • Genetic material
    • Cell membrane
    • Chloroplast → Photosynthesis
    • Mitochondria → Respiration
    • Nucleus
    • Organelles
    • Vacuole

Levels of Organization

  • Cells → Tissues → Organ → Systems → Living thing

Life Processes

    1. Nutrition
    • Autotrophic: make their own food (photosynthesis)
    • Heterotrophic: feed on other organisms
      • Herbivores, carnivores, omnivores, parasites, detritivores, and decomposers
    1. Interaction: detect changes and interact to them
    1. Reproduction
    • Asexual: one parent → clones (same as the parent)
    • Sexual: two parents of different sexes → new individual

Classification of Living Things

  • Kingdom → Phylum → Class → Order → Family → Genus → Species
