BIOL 1103 Lecture Notes - Lecture 1: Electromagnetic Spectrum, Cell Theory, Eukaryote
Document Summary
All forms of life share common properties. The cell theory claims that all the organisms are composed of one or more cells. They are the structural and functional units of life. Takes in certain aspects that considers the environment. Organelles all serve a function and an advantage to compartilization. The biomacromolecules consist of proteins, lipids, carbohydrates, and nucleic acids. The cell is a metabolic unit that requires the transfer and transformation of energy and. It is an organizational unit matter to carry on with life. The cellular processes are respiration, glycolysis, photosynthesis, and fermentation. The visible light that we see is only a small part of the electromagnetic spectrum. Light is a source of energy for the ecosystem especially when it comes to photosynthesis. It travels in waves of discrete particles called photons and cellular respirationsas the light is emitted from the sun.
