Chapter 1- Evolution& Biological Groups Flashcards
Biology
Study of life
What are the 10 biological organizations?
Biosphere, ecosystem, communities, population, organisms, organ system, tissues, cell, organelles, and molecules
Biosphere
Earth
Ecosystem
Environment
Communities
Array of organisms in ecosystem
Population
All individuals of the species living within a specific area
Organisms
Animals and plants
Organ system
Body parts that carry out particular functions in the body (such as me roots and stems) organized into a system to do a larger function
Tissues
Organs are made out of it and are groups of cells working for a function
Cell
And mental unit of structure and function
Organelles
Functional components in the cells such as chloroplast
Molecules
Chemical structure within two or more Adams units
Reductionism
Complex systems are broken down to similar components easier to study
Is chloroplast responsible for?
photosynthesis
Where is chlorophyll and what does it do?
Makes plants green and is located in the chloroplast
Emergent Properties
Results from interactions among components at lower levels, biological organization are examples of the properties and happens when nature into interacts to parts as complexity increases
System of Biology
Exploration of biological system by analyzing the interactions among its parts
What is evolution responsible for?
Unity and diversity, adaption of organisms to environment, modified descendants from common ancestors
What are the seven common characteristics restricts?
Species, genus, family, order, phylum, kingdom, and domain
What are examples of Domain?
Animals and bacteria
What is Charles Darwin’s theory evolution?
Descendants with modifications and natural selection
What evidence supported Charles Darwin’s natural selection theory?
1) inheritable traits
2) overproduction
3) adapt to environment
Evolution
Process of change that has transformed life on Earth from its earliest beginnings to the diversity of organisms living today
True or false. Within the system of biology there a structure and function which often correlates. For example the hummingbirds wings by backwards so it can feed
True
