Biology (Life The Science of Biology, 12th edition) Chapters 1-4
Unicellular A single celled organism
Multicellular Made up of more than one cell.
What is a cell? The basic unit of all living things
What is an organism A living thing that can function independently; Fungi
Kingdom the highest taxonomic category; Animalia
What structures are universal to all cells cytoplasm, endoplasmatic reticulum, ribosomes , cell membrane , DNA , and cell
wall
What are the functions of cytoplasm, endoplasmatic Come back to this one
reticulum, ribosomes , cell membrane , DNA , and cell wall
prokaryotic cell cell that does not have a nucleus or other membrane-bound organelles.
Eukaryote A cell that contains a nucleus and membrane bound organelles
example of prokaryote bacteria
example of eukaryote plants and animals
What is evolution? the process of change over time
What are adaptations? Features that enable them to survive in the conditions in which they normally live
Progression of Life on Earth Archean era, eukaryotic-celled life in the Proterozoic era. Then Paleozoic,
Mesozoic, and Cenozoic
AEPPMC
, Biology (Life The Science of Biology, 12th edition) Chapters 1-4
Homestasis relatively constant internal physical and chemical conditions that organisms
maintain
Hierarchy of Life biosphere, ecosystem, community, population, organism, organ system, organ,
tissue, cell, organelle, molecule, atom
Example of biosphere earth
example of an ecosystem forest
example of organism amoeba
example of an Organ system digestive system
example of population school of fish
What is an atomic number? the number of protons in an atom
what is an atom Smallest particle of an element
What is an organelle? A tiny cell structure that carries out a specific function within the cell
What are elements? An element is a substance that cannot be broken down to other substances by
chemical reactions.
what is a molecule A group of atoms bonded together
What is a subatomic particle? A particle smaller than an atom: protons, neutrons and electrons
what is matter Anything that has mass and takes up space
essentail elements required for life (O, C, H, N)
