Gen Bio Flashcards
Created by supernatural being
Divine Creation (Bible)
Protoplasm in the form of resistant spores
Cosmozoic or interplanetary
By Aristotle certain living things could arise directly from non-living things
Spontaneous generation (Abiogenesis)
The physical world contained much the same inorganic and organic substances
Natural or Marine
Atmosphere contains these following substances CN,NH water vapor and H2O and then exposed to UV rays,cosmic radiation, and electrical discharges
Physcio-chemical Or Coacervate Droplet Theory
The compounds formed were….
Sugar
Fatty acids
Glycerol
Amino acids
Purines
Pyrimidines
Organized in a special state of chemical activity
Organization
Physical and chemical changes taking place in organisms
Metabolism
Organism takes in more material from its environment.. organisms increase its sizes
Growth
Metabolic activities are classified into two groups:
Catabolism
Anabolism
Synthesized from simple compound
Anabolism
Converted into simplier compounds
Catabolism
Self controlled duplication
Reproduction
Self controlled duplication
Reproduction
To react to stimulus
Responsiveness or irritability
Species slowly or rapidly becomes better suited to survive
Adaptation
Constant condition within an organism
Homeostasis
Change occurs over a long period of time to live in their environment … successive generations
Evolution
Systematic classification of organisms into groups
Taxonomy
Form and structure of organisms
Morphology
Detailed structure of organisms as revealed by gross dissection
Anatomy
Detailed structure and functions of cell
Cytology
Group of cells performing a definite or specialized function
Histology
Functional processes associated with living things
Physiology
Hereditary and variations of organisms
Genetics
Formation and early development of organisms
Embryology or developmental biology
Shape, aggregation and orientation of the molecules that compose the cellular system
Molecular biology
Past life as revealed by fossils
Paleontology
Living things in relation to their environment
Ecology
Origin and diversification of organisms forms successive generations
Evolution
