BI110 Lecture Notes - Lecture 1: Inductive Reasoning, Starch, Purine
Document Summary
Archaea = single cell organisms (similar to bacteria but more closely related to eukarya) All living organisms share these characteristics (unity): have one or more cells, require energy, metabolize, grow, respond to a stimuli, adapt, reproduce. Created new system that classified organisms based on their shape, structure, color, pattern, bones, etc. 3 things that can happen when light encounters matter: The light can be absorbed (so that light can be used) Rhodopsin: most common photoreceptor in nature; it is a highly conserved photoreceptor (a conserved photoreceptor means. All organisms are composed of one or more cells. Cells are the basic structural and functional unit of life. Organelles that originate from the er, but are not part of the endomembrane system when it comes to protein trafficking. Inductive reasoning: general conclusions are drawn from specific observations. Deductive reasoning: specific results are predicted from a general premise.
