Document Summary
Biology 102 - week one lectures chapters 1-4. Living organisms (cells) transform energy from one form to another to do work. Energy flows through an ecosystem (as light/exists as heat) Energy is released when bonds are formed. Atp highest energy molecule breaks down to adp to release energy. Structure/ function correlated at all levels in organization. Lowest level of organization to perform all activities required for life. Structure (chlorophyll/atoms) allows it to do its functions. Understanding how receptors work/shape to create drugs to fit. Structure determines polarity how it behaves in its settings. The continuity of life is based on dna. Dna: deoxyribonucleic acid blueprint of heritable information substance of genes offspring. Genes: units of inheritance transmits information from parents to. Central dogma: dna rna protein. Mitochondrial , nuclear, chloroplast genome (same for every cell) Environment selects for beneficial traits (heritable changes) not random. Hypothesis: tentative answer (proposition) to well-framed questions testable, falsifiable.
