Q

What Is Life

A

Life Cannot Be Defined By One Sentence

25
Properties Of Life
``` Organization Evolutionary Adaptation Response To The Environment Regulation Energy Processing Reproduction Growth And Development Genetic Code ```
26
Organization
``` BioSphere Ecosystem Community Population Species Organsim Organs And Organ Systems Tissues Cells Organelles Molecules ```
27
BioSphere
Living Planet
28
EcoSystem
Is Itself Abiotic But Contains Biotic Things All The Abiotic And Biotic Things In An Area
29
Community
Different Groups Of Species In An Area Habitat
30
Cells
The Smallest Structural And Functional Unit Living Of An Organism
31
Organelles
Any Number Of Organized Or Specialized Structures Within A Cell MitoChondrion Nucleus
32
Molecule
A Group Of Atoms Bonded Together, Representing The Smallest Fundamental Unit Of A Chemical Compound That Can Take Part In A Chemical Reaction
33
Three Main Forms Of Cells
All Cells Share Certain Characteristics All Enclosed By Membrane Use DNA As Genetic Info Eukaryotic Contain Various Membrane Enclosed Organelles And Other Internal Membranes ProkaRyotic Contain Only CytoPlasm, DNA And Ribosomes Within The Cell Membrane
34
Eukaryotic
Contain Various Membrane Enclosed Organelles And Other Internal Membranes
35
ProkaRyotic
Contain Only CytoPlasm, DNA And Ribosomes Within The Cell Membrane Single Celled
36
Evolution
Accounts For Life'S Unity And Diversity The History OF Life Is A Saga How Species Change Over Time Diversity Is A HallMark Of Life Response To The Environment Every Organism Interacts With It's Environment Both Organism And Environment Are Affected By The Interactions Between Them
37
Response To The Environment
Response To The Environment Every Organism Interacts With It's Environment Both Organism And Environment Are Affected By The Interactions Between Them
38
Genetic Code
Cells Contain Chromosomes Made Partly Of Dna The Substance Of Genes DNA Programs The Cells Production Of Proteins That Transmits Information From Parents to OffSpring
39
DNA
A Molecular Structure OF DNA Accounts For It Information Rich Nature Deoxyribonucleic acid, a self-replicating material present in nearly all living organisms as the main constituent of chromosomes It is the carrier of genetic information
40
Regulation And HomeoStasis
MainTain A Stable Environment All Organsims Expend Energy To MainTain A Consisten Internal Environment Regardless Of Changes In External Conditions This Process Is Called HomeoStasis
41
Metabolism Energy Conversion
The Activities Of Life Require Organisms To Perform Work Which Depends On An Energy Source Energy Flows From SunLight To Producers To Consumers The Exchange Of Energy Between An Organism And It's Surroundings Often Involves The Transformation Of One Form Of Energy To Another Energy Flows Through An EcoSystem Usually Entering As SunLight And Exiting As Heat All Living Things Begin As A Single Cell Which Grows And Develops Sometimes Multiplying And Differenciating Into A MultiCellular Individual That May Continue Throughout It's LifeTime All Organisms Produce New Similar Organisms In A Process Called Reproduction Some Organisms Produce Sexually Others Produce ASexually
42
Growth Development And Reproduction
All Living Things Begin As A Single Cell Which Grows And Develops Sometimes Multiplying And Differenciating Into A MultiCellular Individual That May Continue Throughout It's LifeTime All Organisms Produce New Similar Organisms In A Process Called Reproduction Some Organisms Produce Sexually Others Produce ASexually
43
Taxonomy
Is The Branch Of Biology That Names And Classifies Species According To A System Of Broader And Broader Groups
44
Life Is Classified Into Three Domains
Bacteria Single Celled Archaea Ancient But Fairly Recently Discovered Lives Where We DidN'T Think It Could Live In Extreme Conditions Eukarya The Only Domain That Has Organisms That HAs Cells That Have A Nucleus
45
Domain Bacteria And Domain Archaea
Consists Or Prokaryotes
46
Domain Eukarya, The Eukaryotes
Includes The Various Protist Kingdoms And The Kingdoms PlanTae, Fungi, And Animalia
47
Plantae
The Taxonomic KingDom Consisting Of All Living Or Extinct Plants
48
Fungi
Plural Form Of Fungus Any of a group of unicellular, multicellular, or syncytial spore-producing organisms feeding on organic matter, including molds, yeast, mushrooms, and toadstools
49
Animalia
Animals Are MultiCellular SingleCellular EukaRyotic Organisms Of The Kingdom Animalia All animals are motile, meaning they can move spontaneously and independently at some point in their lives
50
ProkaRyote
A microscopic single-celled organism that has neither a distinct nucleus with a membrane nor other specialized organelles Prokaryotes include the bacteria and cyanobacteria
51
Bacteria
ProkaRyote Single Celled UniCellular Organisms W/O A Nucleus Archaea EuBacteria
52
Order
Species - Can Reproduce With Eachother Genus - Similar Characteristics Subordinate Kinds Family - United By Significant Shared Characteristic Order - Taxonomic Category Below Family Above Class Class - Common Attribute PhyLum - Algae Fungi Plants Kingdom - Animalia, Plantae, Fungi, Protista, Monera Domain - EukaRyota, Bacteria, Archaea ChorData - Spinal Chord Dear King Philip Came Over For Great Sushi
53
Order
Dear King Philip Came Over For Great Sushi
54
HomeoStasis
Keeps A Stable Internal Environment Even When External Conditions Change Dramatically
55
Stimuli Stimulus
A Stimulus Is A Signal To Which An Organism Responds
