Biology scientific study of organisms, living and fossil Common Features all life forms share - Made of a common set of chemical compounds - Made up of cells - Extract energy from the environment and use it to do work - Contain genetic info that enables them to develop, function, and reproduce - Use a universal genetic code to build proteins - Regulate their internal environments - Exist in populations that evolve over time Evolution Major unifying principle of biology and results in cha...

Biology is the study of _______________. Life A pH of _____ is a strong base. 14 _____ are the intercellular junctions that hold cardiac muscle cells together. Gap Junctions Carbon is Atomic Number 6 so it always shares electrons True Prokayote cells and Eukaryote cells are the same size False

Disaccharide A double sugar, consisting of two monosaccharides joined by dehydration synthesis. Glycosidic Linkage A covalent bond formed between two monosaccharides by a dehydration reaction. Phospholipid A lipid made up of glycerol joined to two fatty acids and a phosphate group. The hydrocarbon chains of the fatty acids act as nonpolar, hydrophobic tails, while the rest of the molecule acts as a polar, hydrophilic head. Phospholipids form bilayers that function as biological membranes.

7 characteristics of living things Order, evolutionary adaptation, regulation, reproduction, response to enviorment, growth and development, energy processing Biological organization (largest to smallest) Biosphere, ecosystem, communities, populations, organisms, organs and organ systems, tissues, cells, organelles, molecules Compare and contrast emergent properties and reductionism Emergent properties- new properties that arrive w/ each step up in hierarchy of life, complexity increases r...

All of the following are part of a prokaryotic cell EXCEPT... An endoplasmic recticulum Cell size is limited by... Surface to volume ratios Which structure is common to plant and animal cells? Mitochondrion

What does the cell theory state? All life is composed of cells & cells can only come from pre-existing cells. Differentiate between a unicellular organism and a multicellular organism, give an example of each. Unicellular organisms are composed of only one cell; Bacteria; Multicellular oganisms are composed of a multitude of cells, where a cell is only a part of the entire organism; People. Differentiate between unicellular and multicellular organisms in terms of cell division. (What does ...

Evolution The process of change that has transformed life on Earth. Biology The scientific study of life What are the five unifying themes? Organization, Information, Energy and Matter, Interaction, Evolution

Cell Membrane controls the exchange of substances between the cell and its surroundings Nucleus contains the cell's genetic material and controls cellular activities including division Chloroplast location of photosynthesis to produce fo
