7 Characteriestics of living organisims

Cellular organization, Ordered complexity, Sensitivity, Growth /Reproduction, Energy Utilization, Evolutionary adapting, Homeostasis

Prokaryote

Has no nucleus, no membrane bound organelle (ex.bacteria)

Eukaryote

Does not have a nucleus, organelles, Complex. (ex:humans)

The Science of life

Organisms show hierarchical organization. (Population, Ecosystem, Biosphere)

Animal kingdom

Epithelial, Connective, Muscle, Nervous

Tissue>Organ>organ system>organism>population>species>community>ecosystem>Biopshere

Deductive reasoning

Generalized to specific (ex:mammals>hair)



Inductive reasoning

Specific observations to General (ex: Dog>Hair)

Spontaneous generatioon

Popped up out of nowhere

Biogenesis/germ theory

have to come from seomthing

Reductionism

To break a complex process down to its simplest parts

Systems biology

Focus on emergent properties that can't be understood by looking at simpler parts

Darwin/ Thomas Malthus

Survival of the fittest, Population increase geometrically, Humans can only increase their food supply arithmetically, fossil record, Earths age

Comparative anatomy

Did species have similar structure



Homologous

Same evolutionary Origin

Analogous

Structures of different origin used for same purpose (Butterflies and bird wing)

Cell theory

All organisms are composed of cells, cells are life's basic units , all cells come from pre-existing cells. (Bio-genesis/Germ theory)

3 Domains

[Bacteria, Archaea (Prokaryotes)] [Eukarya (Eukaryotes)]

Evolutionary conservation

All organisms come from same simple creater 3.5BYA

Atomic structure

Protons(+) Neutrons Electrons(-)

Atomic number

Number of protons in that atom

Element

any substance that cannot be broken down naturally

Atomic mass

Protons+neutrons

Each proton/neutron has a mass of

1 Dalton

Electrons

Negatively charged particles in orbitals

Ion

unbalanced atoms

Cation

loss of electrons- -> Positive charge (ca+ion) [+'v]

Anion

gain of electron -> Negative charge (aNion) [-'v]

Isotopes

Atom with different # of neutrons than protons. (Radioactive)

Half life

time it takes for one half of the atoms in a sample to decay

Carbon 12

P-6 N-6 E-6 ( balanced )

Carbon 13

P-6 N-7 E-6 (isotope)

Carbon 14

P-6 N-8 E-6 (isotope)

Octet rule

In shell L,M,N there are a max or 8 electrons. In shell K there is a max of 2

How many naturally occurring elements?

90. Only 12 are found in living organisms.

Redox reactions

The kids or gain of one or more electrons

Oxidation

Loss of electron

Reduction

Gain of electron

Covalent bonds

Share electron, no net charge, polar/nonpolar

Ionic bond

Formed attraction of opposite charged ion, medium strength

Hydrogen bonds

Weakest bond

Polar covalent bonds

Unequal sharing of electrons

Nonpolar covalent bonds

Equal sharing of electrons

Synthesis reaction

Build up/ Require energy / Anabolic reaction (A+B=AB)

Decomposition reaction

Break down, release energy, catabolic reaction (AB-> A+B)

Exchange reaction

AB+CD-> AD+CB

Reversible reaction

A+B-><-AB

Catabolic

Break down

Anabolic

Build up

Catalyst

Enzyme that speed up a reaction

Hydrophilic

Water loving

Hydrophobic

Water repelling

Acids and Bases

0 - more acidic 7 neutral 14 more basic

Salt

Anything that breaks down and does not give you hydrogen is a salt

Buffer

Resist a change in pH

Water to dioxide to carbonic acid to bicarbonate ion to hydrogen ion

P

Inorganic

Carbon with any element that is not hydrogen

Organic

Carbon+hydrogen+anything else

Carbon skeleton (hydrocarbon)

Primary structure ( simple polypeptide chain) Secondary ( pleaded sheet ) tertiary (multiple foldings) quaternary (many tertiary all together)

Translation

Take rna and make a protein

Lipids

Insoluble in water

hierarchal organization of life

Atoms, molecule, organelle,cell ,tissue, organ, organ system, organism, population, community, ecosystem, biosphere

Different bonds

Covalent, polar covalent, ionic,hydrogen

Endosymbiosis

This theory suggests that mitochondria and plastids in eukaryotic cells were once independent prokaryotic cells.

Prokaryote vs eukaryote

The distinction between prokaryotes and eukaryotes is considered to be the most important distinction among groups of organisms. Eukaryotic cells contain membrane-bound organelles, such as the nucleus, while prokaryotic cells do not. Differences in cellular structure of prokaryotes and eukaryotes include the presence of mitochondria and chloroplasts, the cell wall, and the structure of chromosomal DNA.
