Five Unifying Themes of Biology - ANSWER Evolution
Levels of organization
Regulation
Structure and Function
Unity and diversity
Holism - ANSWER is the idea that all the properties of a given system cannot be determined or explained
by its component parts alone
Reductionism - ANSWER the theory that every complex phenomenon can be explained by analyzing the
simplest, most basic physical mechanisms that are in operation during the phenomenon
Robert Hooke - ANSWER Discovered cells
Anton van Leeuwenhoek - ANSWER Invented the microscope, father of microbiology
Scheiden and Schwann - ANSWER developed the cell theory
Cell Theory - ANSWER idea that all living things are composed of cells, cells are the basic units of
structure and function in living things, and new cells are produced from existing cells
Prokaryotic cell - ANSWER A type of cell lacking a membrane-enclosed nucleus and membrane-enclosed
organelles; found only in the domains Bacteria and Archaea.
Eukaryotic cell - ANSWER A type of cell with a membrane-enclosed nucleus and membrane-enclosed
organelles. Examples of organisms with these cells are protists, plants, fungi, and animals.

Domains of Life - ANSWER Bacteria, Archaea, Eukarya
Gene - ANSWER A segment of DNA on a chromosome that codes for a specific trait
Genome - ANSWER All the genetic information in an organism; all of an organism's chromosomes.
gene expression - ANSWER process by which a gene produces its product and the product carries out its
function
positive feedback - ANSWER Feedback that tends to magnify a process or increase its output.
Negative feedback - ANSWER a mechanism of response in which a stimulus initiates reactions that
reduce the stimulus
trace elements - ANSWER required by an organism in only minute quantities (copper, iron, zinc)
Major elements - ANSWER oxygen, carbon, hydrogen, nitrogen, calcium, phosphorus
Atomic Structure - ANSWER Electron on outer shell, neutron and proton in center, nuclei.
Energy - ANSWER the capacity to do work
potential energy - ANSWER stored energy that results from the position or shape of an object
Electron Shells - ANSWER An energy level representing the distance of an electron from the nucleus of
an atom.
