Study Notes

Botany: study of plants and their interactions with the environment
Zoology: study of animals and their interactions with the environment
Microbiology: study of microorganisms such as bacteria, viruses, and fungi
Ecology: study of the interactions between organisms and their environment
Genetics: study of heredity, genes, and genetic variation
Biochemistry: study of the chemical processes that occur within living organisms
Molecular Biology: study of the structure and function of biological molecules such as DNA, RNA, and proteins

Carbohydrates: provide energy and structure for cells
- Examples: sugars, starches, cellulose
Proteins: perform a wide range of functions in cells
- Examples: enzymes, hormones, structural proteins
Lipids: provide energy and structure for cells
- Examples: fats, oils, cholesterol
Nucleic Acids: store and transmit genetic information
- Examples: DNA, RNA

Photosynthesis: process by which plants convert light energy into chemical energy
Cellular Respiration: process by which cells generate energy from glucose
Mitosis: process of cell division that results in two identical daughter cells
Meiosis: process of cell division that results in four non-identical daughter cells

Natural Selection: process by which individuals with favorable traits are more likely to survive and reproduce
Genetic Variation: differences in the genetic code between individuals
Genotype: the genetic code of an individual
Phenotype: the physical and behavioral characteristics of an individual
Mendelian Inheritance: the study of how traits are passed down from generation to generation
