Q

Cells

A

The basic unit of life

19
Q

Molecular

A

A cluster of Adams example DNA

20
Q

Adams

A

The smallest unit of matter (element)

21
Q

Ecosystem organism interacts with its environment two main processes

A
  1. Cycling of nutrients: nutrients taken up by plants return to the soil
  2. Flow of energy in sunlight
    Procedures = plants by photosynthesis
    Consumers animals eat plants, decomposers fungi break down organisms back to minerals.
22
Q

DNA

A

All cells use DNA

23
Q

Genes

A

Half of our genes came from each our parents

24
Q

Code for protein

A

Adenine, thymine, cytosine, guanine (ATCG)

25
Persons sex
Is determined by father, XX vs XY
26
Taxonomy
Field of biology that names and classifies species
27
Life divided into 3 groups (domains)
``` Bacteria= prokaryotic cell Archaea= prokaryotic cell Eukarya= eukaryotic cell ```
28
Domain Eukarya | Has 4 domains
Plantae- multicellular organisms Fungi-multicellular Animalia-multicellular Protista- single cellular, example amoebas
29
Transcription(TRNA) occurs
In the nucleus
30
tRNA
Amenities acids
31
Charles Darwin
The origin of species(2 main points) 1. Decent with modification = based on food and environment species living today descended from ancestral species. 2. Natural Selection= mechanism for #1 they do to help them survive.
32
Darwin Charles
Species can cross breed for once the new species is created they can not go back and breed with the original species due to genetics
33
Overproduction and competition
Too many other species compete for food in survival = not all will survive
34
Individual variation
No two species are alike Some have better survival skills, the strong will adapt. Like turtles, lots are produced boat once hatched from the sea to the ocean crocodiles, birds, and other animals are waiting to eat them.
35
14 species of Finches
Their beaks change due to what they need to eat to survive in the different areas. Some even bigger nuts and some eat smaller nuts.
36
unequal reproduction success is natural selection
The product of natural selection is adaptation. Natural selection is the mechanism of evolution. Best traits are passed to the next generation, adaptation occurs = evolution. Like the moth color changing to survive to blend in to the environment because of all the dark side so birds couldn't spot them.
37
Artificial selection
You pick it's not natural. Breeding dogs.
38
Bacteria
Can use antibiotics
39
Virus
Cannot use antibiotics because it's not a bacteria
40
Science
To know. | Based on inquiry due to curiosity to understand.
41
Two approaches to science
1.discovery science-based on verifiable observations and measurements. Conclusions drawn by inductive reasoning. Summarizes many concurrent observations and measurements. 2. Hypothesis-driven science- consists of series of steps. Observation-question Question-hypothesis Hypothesis-prediction Prediction-testing Results- if results don't match the hypothesis then new hypothesis.
42
With science
Take good notes so someone else can follow the procedure step-by-step and get the same results
43
Watson & Crick
Discovered DNA.
