Study Notes
Definition and Scope
- Biology is the scientific study of life and living organisms
- Examines the structure, function, growth, evolution, and taxonomy of living things
- Encompasses all aspects of life, from molecules to ecosystems
Branches of Biology
- Botany: study of plants
- Zoology: study of animals
- Microbiology: study of microorganisms
- Ecology: study of interactions between organisms and their environment
- Biochemistry: study of chemical processes in living organisms
- Molecular Biology: study of biological molecules and their interactions
- Genetics: study of heredity and variation
- Evolutionary Biology: study of the processes that have shaped the diversity of life
Cells and Cellular Processes
- Cell Structure: cell membrane, cytoplasm, nucleus, mitochondria, ribosomes
- Cellular Processes: photosynthesis, respiration, mitosis, meiosis
- Cell Division: mitosis, meiosis, cytokinesis
- Genetic Information: DNA, RNA, genes, chromosomes
Evolution and Diversity
- Evolution: change in species over time through natural selection and genetic drift
- Species: group of interbreeding organisms
- Classification: system of categorizing organisms into groups based on shared characteristics
- Phylogeny: study of evolutionary relationships between organisms
- Biodiversity: variety of species, ecosystems, and genes in an environment
Ecosystems and Ecology
- Ecosystem: community of organisms and their environment
- Ecological Relationships: predator-prey, competition, symbiosis
- Energy Flow: producers, consumers, decomposers
- Ecosystem Services: provisioning, regulating, cultural, supporting
- Conservation Biology: preservation and protection of ecosystems and biodiversity
