Study Notes

Basic Units of Life

  • The basic structural and functional unit of life is the cell.
  • Cells can be classified into two main types: prokaryotic and eukaryotic.

Types of Cells

  • Prokaryotic cells lack a complex system of membrane-bound organelles and do not contain a true nucleus.
  • Eukaryotic cells have a well-defined, true nucleus and contain numerous membrane-bound organelles.

Historical Discoveries

  • The term 'cell' was coined by Robert Hooke in the 17th century.
  • Anton van Leeuwenhoek is recognized for discovering bacteria and other microorganisms.

Human Genome Project

  • The Human Genome Project aimed to sequence the approximately three billion bases of DNA found in every human cell.
  • This monumental project took place from 1990 to 2003.

Biology and Origins of Life

  • The literal meaning of biology is "the study of life."
  • Life is believed to have first arisen about 3.5 to 4 billion years ago.
  • The earliest organisms were prokaryotic and consisted mainly of simple cells.
