Study Notes
Language Complexity
- Languages around the world vary in complexity, with no simple language being universally accepted as a benchmark.
Linguistic Hierarchy
- Languages are structured and organized in a hierarchical manner, with different levels of complexity.
Simple Language
- pidgin languages are examples of simple languages, which are simplified language systems used for communication between groups of people who do not share a common language.
Biological Organization
- The correct order of biological organization from simplest to most complex is: atoms, molecules, organelles, cells, tissues, organs, organ systems, and organisms.
Protoplasm Composition
- 99% of the protoplasm in living organisms is made up of oxygen, carbon, hydrogen, and nitrogen.
Sub-atomic Particles
- Bosons are not a type of sub-atomic particle that makes up the structure of atoms; the three main sub-atomic particles are protons, neutrons, and electrons.
Organism Organization
- The organism level of biological organization includes the arrangement of different parts to support life functions, such as the nervous system, circulatory system, and digestive system.
Bio-elements
- The six bio-elements that make up the bodies of organisms are carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, nitrogen, phosphorus, and sulfur.
