Bio 204 Exam 1
1. Levels of Biological Organization: BECPOOTCOM
2. BECPOOTCOM: The biosphere, Ecosystems, Communities, populations, organisms, organs/organ systems,
tissues, cells, organelles, molecules
3. communities: array of organisms inhabiting a particular ecosystem
4. population: all of the individual species living within the bounds of a specified area
5. system biology: the exploration of a biological system by analyzing the interactions among its parts
6. eukaryotic cell: contains membrane-enclosed organelles
7. prokaryotic cell: lacks a nucleus or other membrane-enclosed organelles
8. genome: the entire library of genetic instructions that an organism inherits
9. genomics: the study of whole sets of genes (or other DNA) in one or more species
10. proteomics: the study of a set of proteins and their properties
1/7
,11. proteome: the entire set of protein expressed by a given cell or group of cells
12. bioinformatics: the use of computational tools to store, organize, and analyze the huge volume of data that
results from high-throughput methods
13. Classifying life: DKPCOFGS
14. DKPCOFGS: domain, kingdom, phylum, class, order, family, genus, species
15. Bacteria: most diverse and widespread prokaryotes
16. archea: live in extreme environments
17. Taxonomy: names and classifies species into a hierarchical order
18. On the Origin of Species by Natural Selection: published in 1859 by Charles Darwin
19. Descent with modification: view that contemporary species arose from a succession of ancestors
20. Natural selection: proposed mechanism for descent with modification
21. Ecology: study of the interactions between organisms and the environment
2/7
, 22. Abiotic factors affecting the distribution of organisms include: Temperature
Water
Oxygen
Salinity
Sunlight
Soil
23. aibiotic: nonliving; referring to the physical and chemical properties of an environment (temperature, water,
oxygen, sun light, soil)
24. biotic: pertaining to the living factors -the organisms- in an environment
