Study Notes
Biology
Definition: The study of living organisms, including their structure, function, growth, evolution, distribution, and taxonomy.
Branches of Biology:
- Botany: Study of plants
- Zoology: Study of animals
- Microbiology: Study of microorganisms
- Ecology: Study of interactions between organisms and their environment
- Genetics: Study of heredity and variation
- Biochemistry: Study of chemical processes in living organisms
Key Concepts:
- Cells: Basic units of life, composed of cell membrane, cytoplasm, and genetic material
- DNA: Genetic material that contains instructions for development and function
- Evolution: Process of change in species over time through natural selection and genetic drift
- Ecosystems: Communities of living and non-living components interacting with each other
- Homeostasis: Ability of organisms to maintain a stable internal environment despite changes in external conditions
Biological Molecules:
- Carbohydrates: Energy-rich molecules, e.g., sugars, starches, and cellulose
- Proteins: Molecules composed of amino acids, involved in structure, function, and regulation
- Lipids: Molecules involved in energy storage, e.g., fats, oils, and steroids
- Nucleic Acids: Molecules that contain genetic information, e.g., DNA and RNA
Biological Processes:
- Photosynthesis: Process by which plants convert light energy into chemical energy
- Respiration: Process by which cells convert glucose into energy
- Metabolism: Set of chemical reactions that occur within cells to maintain life
- Nutrition: Process by which organisms obtain and utilize nutrients for growth and maintenance
