Document Summary

Atp-adp cycle (read about it again), all organisms and processes within the organisms use. Two genomes of humans/chimps are never the exact same. Genetic variability is what lets evolution happen. Natural selection is the most known and used evolution method. Genetic variability needs environment, reproducibility, and survivability, so that it promotes fitness of certain individuals. Individuals never evolve, the population as a whole is evolving. The sun is the ultimate source of energy for practically everything on the earth. Matter: occupies space and has a mass, all tangible substances are made out of matter. Energy: capacity to do work, has many forms. Sun"s form of energy is called electromagnetic radiation. Light: electromagnetic radiation humans can detect with their eyes, wave of discrete particles called photons. To be used light energy must be absorbed by modules called pigments. Pigment structures have conjugated bond systems, alternating double/single carbon bonds,delocalization of e-
