Bio unit 1 Flashcards
Prokaryotes bacteria
1st living thing on earth. 3.7 billion yrs
Earth’s age
4.5 billion yrs
Stanley miller (1953)
Made a model of early earth. Lead to polymerization hypothesis
Biological system depends on molecular interaction .
Enzymes speed up chem rxn
Emergent properties
Properties at higher level in hierarchy of life that doesn’t exist
Hierarchy of life
Biological molecules Cells Tissues Organs Organ systems Organism Population Communities Ecosystem Biosphere
- Characteristics of life
Composed of atoms arranged into biological molecules
-ca, hy, ox, nit, pho, sulf
-carbohydrate, lipids, nucleic acids, proteins
2 characteristics of life
Having DNA for building protein
DNA-RNA-protein-everything else
3 characteristics of life
Get energy and materials from their surroundings to build biological molecules
Metabolism
All chem rxn that takes place inside a body to keep it alive
4 characteristic of life
Grow and develop
Life cycle
5 characteristics of life
Connected through the Natural flow of energy and materials
- matter: clyclical
- energy: unidirectional
6 characteristics of life
Reproduce and pass DNA to offspring (inheritance and heredity)
7 characteristics of life
Respond physically to their surroundings in order to survive
8 characteristics of living things populations not individuals
Living things evolve
Evolution
Darwin and wallace (British naturalist) propose it.
Phenotype
Traits
Fitness
Ability to survive and reproduce
Classification
Domain-kingdom-phylum-class-order-family-genus-species
Phylogeny
Evolutionary relationships
Trace elements
Found in less than 1% of biological material
Energy shells: placement
Orbital: pathway of movement.
