Study Notes
Genetic Information and Energy Production
- Genetic information for cells and viruses is stored in DNA or RNA.
- Autotrophs gain energy through photosynthesis.
Metabolic Processes
- Catabolism is the process where stored energy like glycogen is broken down into smaller molecules, releasing energy.
- Anabolism is the process where smaller molecules use energy to build a lot of molecules.
Human Biology
- The pH of the stomach is due to hydrochloric acid, which keeps it acidic.
Genetics
- DNA is the genetic material that has the capacity to store information.
- Gene expression refers to the process by which the information in a gene's DNA is converted into a functional product, whereas DNA is the genetic material itself.
Atomic Structure
- Atoms are the smallest unit that can make matter.
Ecology
- A population is a group of individuals of the same species living in a specific geographic area.
- The most complicated system mentioned in the text is likely the human body, considering its complex biology and physiology.
