Feeling lost in membranes, macromolecules, or metabolism? This BIO 112 Semester 1 study guide is a student-made, exam-focused breakdown of everything you actually need to know — minus the textbook fluff. Perfect for midterms, finals, or just not falling behind in lecture. What’s inside: Cell biology simplified – prokaryotes vs eukaryotes, membranes, and endosymbiosis Macromolecules, protein folding, gene expression – explained clearly and visually DNA replication, transcription & translation – mapped out with diagrams and steps Metabolism, glycolysis, and cellular respiration – made digestible High-yield review of CRISPR, PCR, photosynthesis, gene regulation, and more Packed with definitions, diagrams, summaries, and examples from real lecture content Designed by a student, for students. This guide gets to the point — fast. Attribution: This study guide was built using and inspired by material from the UBC BIO 112 course and official resources. All credit goes to the UBC instructors and course designers who developed the original material. Whether you’re at UBC or taking a similar introductory biology course, this guide is your shortcut to success.

BIO 112


Semester 1


September


2024

,Bio 112-Unit 1 : cells & membrane

Unit 1 1 general properties and
types of cells
.
:




cell theory

of
all organisms are made up cells


the cell is the smallest .
& fundamental unit of life


from cells
cells come
pre-existing



3 domains of life

1 .

Bacteria-greatest biodiversity & history prokaryotes
.
2 Archaea-eukaryote's decendents

.

Eukarya-plants ,
animals , fungi cells eurkaryotes


Characteristics



PROKARYOTES EUKARYOTES
To be cell :



↳ self
unicellular/simple
·




replicating
·

multicellular unicellular/multicellular


organisms organisms live withouthost

↳ ↳
organisms : individual creature protist : unicellular
eukaryote
Canimal , plant ,




Single celled life forms
·



evolved later from prokaryotes
·




staying alive


small size multicellular organism -> perform fux
↳ ↳
reproduce quickly larger

Endosymbiosis
within
Called Endosymbionts (
certain
organelles eukaryotes
↳ 2 membranes resemble prokaryotic cells

↳ inner structure =
pro cell (ie . Cyto +
mito)
↳Contain circular
genomes >
- codes for
genes "bacteria like characteristics

double membrane

Individual cells

·

cell cycle

metabolism

Binary Fission

cells in culture >
-

starts at inoculation of fresh batch growth medium / small amount of old culture

behavior
·



cell population in Culture/media due to :




1. to environment
adjusting ↑




.
2


·
limited resources




-
4 phases
&
time




1 .


lag-cells growing but not dividing (making proteins needed to thrive) (MostDNA) & transcription /lation happens in


.
2
log-population undergoes binary fission -
constant
growth rate (mostliving cells) at least "2 the cells during

.
3 (start of due to nutrients/metabolic)
Stationary Key nutrients start depleting death log lag
stationary but
-

, ,

L
NO NET GROWTH -
&
equal dividing lag
+ DNA
dying rep only in log

4. =
death-limited nutrients , high build up of waste more dying then activly dividing

Chemistry


Interactions between molecules
-


fax of cell dependent on chem bond/interactions

covalent bonds
-
e
sharing
↳ +
partial
polar unequal permanent dipole charge

Covalent vs non-covalent interactions L




Covalently linked-shared e- ,
more permenent/strong (partial charges -




non-covertent interaction electrostatic (no sharing) weaker/less Permanent (no charge)
-

non-covalent



Induced dipole

ions & dipoles induce in molec . Cattract/repel e- charge
dipole neighboring non-polar weak
=

non-polar molec can also induce dipole in other non-polar mole/weak charge



H-bond -
