biology
✓ -:- scientific study of life
characteristics of life
✓ -:- cell, order, regulation, energy processing, evolutionary adaptation,
response to the environment, reproduction, growth & development
how does energy flow through an ecosystem?
✓ -:- entering as light and exiting as heat
eukaryotic cell
✓ -:- has membrane-enclosed organelles, the largest of which is usually
the nucleus; example: humans, plants, fungi, insects
prokaryotic cell

✓ -:- simpler and usually smaller, and does not contain a nucleus or other
membrane-enclosed organelles; example: bacteria & arc haea; e coli, strep
taxonomy
✓ -:- the branch of biology that names & classifies species; DKPCOFGS
DKPCOFGS
✓ -:- Domain, Kingdom, Phylum, Class, Order, Family, Genus, Species
most general taxonomic group

✓ -:- the lowest level of organization that can perform all activities
required for life
all cells...
✓ -:- are enclosed by a membrane and use DNA as their genetic
information
different levels of biology & emergent properties
✓ -:- life can be studied at different levels (biosphere, ecosystems,
organs/organ systems, tissues, organelles, cells, atoms, molecules,
communities, populations, organisms); emergent properties result from
the arrangement & interaction of parts within a syst em
systems biology
✓ -:- constructs models for the dynamic behavior of whole biological
systems
fundamental characteristic of living organisms

✓ -:- their use of energy to carry out life's activities
work
✓ -:- including moving, growing, & reproducin g, requires a source of
energy
transform energy
✓ -:- living organisms change energy from one form to another, example:
light energy is converted to chemical energy, then to kinetic energy
cell division
✓ -:- the basis of all reproduction, growth, & repair of multicellular
organisms
DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid)
✓ -:- a cell's genetic material; the substance of genes
