CHAPTER 1 INTRODUCTION: THEMES IN THE STUDY OF LIFE OUTLINE I. Life’s Hierarchical Order A. The living world is a hierarchy‚ with each level of biological structure building on the level below it B. Each level of biological structure has emergent properties C. Cells are an organism’s basic units of structure and function D. The continuity of life is based on heritable information in the form of DNA E. Structure and function are correlated at all levels of biological organization F. Organisms are

Biology Notes 1.02 Sometimes a practice or belief claims to be science but does not follow the scientific method or cannot be proven reliable through experimentation. These practices are examples of pseudoscience‚ which literally means "fake science." Charms‚ astrology = stars‚ and phrenology= reading the bump on skull 1.03 * In the mid 1600s in the Netherlands‚ the scientist Antonie van Leeuwenhoek developed the first known microscope using a single magnifying lens. He was the first person

CHAPTER 10: PURE MONOPOLY Pure monopoly – single firm is the sole producer of a product for which there are no close substitutes; characteristics: * Single seller – sole producer or sole supplier; firm and industry are synonymous * No close substitutes – consumer who chooses not to buy the monopolized product must live without it * Price maker – pure monopolist controls the total quantity supplied‚ so has considerable control over the price; changes product price by changing quantity

increasing pH? Which structures‚ if found in a cell‚ would provide the best evidence that the cell is eukaryotic? Where in the cell do the following occur? Calvin cycle‚ glycolysis‚ Kreb’s cycle‚ electron transport chain. Students in a biology class tested the effects of antibiotics on the growth of bacteria. They cultured bacteria in four glass Petri dishes and then added different amounts of antibiotic to each dish. After the experiment is completed‚ what should be done with the Petri

Chapter 13: Meiosis and Sexual Life Cycles 1) Genes are the units of heredity‚ and are made up of segments of DNA. 2) In asexual reproduction‚ one parent produces genetically identical offspring my mitosis. In sexual reproduction‚ two parents give rise to offspring that have unique combinations of genes inherited from the two parents. 3) Humans have somatic cells‚ which are any cell other than a gamete‚ have 23 pairs of chromosomes. A karyotype is an ordered display of the paired of chromosomes

Sept 27‚ 2010 Chapter 4 * With four valence electrons‚ carbon can form four covalent bonds with a variety of atoms * This tetra valence makes large‚ complex molecules possible * Fundamental groups: Alkanes and Alkenes * The electron configuration of carbon gives it covalent compatibility with many different elements * The valences of carbon and its most frequent partners (hydrogen‚ oxygen‚ and nitrogen) are the “building code” that governs the architecture of living
