Organic Evolution

Organic Evolution

Change in the genetic make up of populations of organisms over time. It is the source of animal diversity and it explains family relationships within animal groups.

It explains fam relationships within animal groups

CHARLES DARWIN

published convincing evidence of evolution in 1859 and proposed a mechanism that could explain evolutionary change.

Evolution proposal

Karl von Linne

BINOMIAL NOMENCLATURE FOR PLANTS AND ANIMALS. COLLECTING AND CLASSIFYING PLANTS.

COLLECTING AND CLASSIFYING PLANTS ;

Genus

First part of two-part name.

Species

Second part

Chemical changes and interactions

Reactions

In living cells and tissues are responsible for activities

Chemical reactions

Study of chem compounds and their reactions in the cells and fluids of living organisms which seeks ultimately to understand the chem phenomena we call life

Biochemistry

Detailed chem aspects of life as in the case of DNA and rna

Molecular biology

Occupies space and has mass

Matter

4 kinds of physical state of matter

Solid liquid gas plasma

Quantity of matter in any obj or body

Mass

The attraction bet. The earth and that of any animal or other object on or near its surface

Gravity

Value of force

Weight

The volume relation to weight and of any object in reference to some standard

Specific gravity

A body at rest tends to remain so, and one in motion tends to continue in motion

Inertia

Keeps particles of the same kind together

Cohesion

Those of diff kinds (keep particles)

Adhesion

Cohesion of molecules at the surface of a body of water produces an elastic skin like effect

Surface tension

Capacity to do work

Energy

Ways to manifest energy

Motion heat chemical change or reaction electric current light

Transmission of protons

Light

Flow if impulses along the course of a nerve

Electric current

An increase in temp.

Heat

Kinetic energy

Energy of motion

Energy of position

Potential energy

Law of conservation of energy

The total quantity of energy remains unchanged

Law of entropy

Holds that heat is the end form if all energy transformations and that all forms of energy maybe entirely transformed into heat but that heat may never be transformed completely into the other forms

Randomized state of energy that is unavailable to do work

Entropy

Ultramicroscopic structural units

Cells

Cannot be broken into simpler form

Elements

How many elements are recognized by chemists in nature?

92

How many of the elements are essential to life?

25

Essential to at least some organisms but only in very small wuantities

Trace elements

Smallest unit having the physical and chemical properties if its element

Atoms

Negatively chsrged

Electrons

Positively chatged

Protons

No electrical charge

Neutron

Arbitrary number assigned to each atom

Atomic weight

Those of any one element that differ in mass

Isotopes

Octet rule

Rule of eight

Octet rule or rule of eight

Atoms tend to establish completely full outer energy levels

How rule of 8?

Donating electrons and sharing electrons

Result: elements become charged and thus attracted to each other; forms ionic bonds

Donating electrons

Forms covalent bonds

Sharing electrons

Covalent bonding

Non-polar bonds

Negatively charged electrons are likely to be NO CLOSER to one atom than the other therefore electrons are equally shared

Covalent

Diatomic molecule

Each sharing one pair of electrons

An atom or group of atoms that had positive or negative electric charge from losing or gaining one or more electrons

Ion

An excess of electrons; negatively charged ion

Anion

With a deficit; a positively charged ion

Cation

A substance containing 2 or more elements

Compound

2 most compound facts

Contains 2 elements ; in living organisms, contains at least 3-4 elements

Combination of water with a chemical compound dissolved

Solution

Any chem compound which will dissociate into ions in water

Electrolyte

Any compound that releases H+ ions ( protons) when dissolved in water

Acid

A compound that in solution releases OH-ione or accepts hydrogen ions

Base or alkali

A mixture of fluid and fine droplets of another liquif

Emulsion

Results when the particles are of intermediate size of too large to enter solution but too small to settle out

Colloid

A random movement of microscopic particles suspended in liquids or gases

Brownian movement

Higher to lowrr

Diffusion

Diffusion of water

Osmosis

Solvent = solute

Isotonic
