Biology Unit 3 study notes
Biology: the study of life and living organisms
Structure, function, growth, origins, interactions
Life: no simple definition that can describe life
The 7 Characteristics of life
1. Are made of cells; cells are the smallest unit of life, single cell organisms have all
tools that they need to survive
2. Have organization; living things must be able to organize simple substances into
complex ones
Living things organize cells at several levels:
o Tissue: a group of cells that perform a common function
o Organ: a group of tissues that perform a common function
o Organ system: a group of organs that perform a common function
o Organism: any complete living thing
3. Use energy (metabolism); living things take in energy and use it for maintenance
and growth
4. Respond to environment; living things will make changes in response to a stimulus
in their environment (a behavior is a complex set of response)
5. Growth; to get bigger in size (more and bigger cells)
6. Reproduce; the process of producing a new organism of the same type (sexual or
asexual reproduction)
7. Adapt through evolution; process that allows species to become better adapted to
their environment over time (cactus in a desert)
Microscope: tool used in study of biology; works to produce magnified image of an object
Resolution: telling the difference between objects close together
Contrast: being able to tell difference between objects and their background (background
to show what you are looking at)
3 types of microscopes:
1. Compound light microscope:
Light passes through object
light then passes through which magnify image (max magnification
2000x)
2. Electron microscope
Uses beam of electrons instead of light.
Transmission electron microscope max mag.150 000x
Scanning electron microscope max mag. 300 000x
3. Scanning probe microscope
Uses a physical probe to map the surface of an object
Magnification can beat the atomic level
The discovery of cells:
Robert Hooke came up with the word CELL and the first microscope of 50x
Spontaneous generation: life coming from nothing, for example mice and maggots
appeared and fish reappear after winter
CELL THEORY(because Louis Pasteur did not believe in spontaneous generation)

3 basic components to cell theory
1. All organisms are composed of one or more cells
2. The cell is the basic unit of life in all living things
3. All cells are produced by the division of pre existing cells
Field of view: is the entire area that you see when you look through the ocular lens.
Cell division: the splitting of a cell into two identical cells (needed for: growth, repair,
reproduction)
Cell Cycle: cells go through phases of dividing and not dividing (most of the time a cell is
doing its normal cell job)
Interphase:
A cell spends 90% of its time in interphase (cell is growing)
3 phases of interphase:
G1-1) growth phase
S- synthesis phase(DNA is copied)
G2- 2nd growth phase (centrioles made)
Mitosis:
The process in cell division where nucleus divides and copies of DNA are moved to
new cells
4 stages (prophase, metaphase, anaphase, telophase)
1. Prophase: chromosomes are shorter and fatter, nuclear membrane
disappears, centrioles move to poles of cells, spindle fibers start to form,
nucleolus is gone
2. Metaphase: spindle fibers pull doubled chromosomes into the middle of the
cell (they line up), even amount of chromosomes in each cell
3. Anaphase: spindle fibers pull apart the doubled chromosomes and move
them towards the poles of the cell (chromosomes are splitting), if spindle
fibers make a mistake putting to much or too little chromosomes in a cell it
will turn to down syndrome.
4. Telophase: chromosomes reach poles of the cell, nuclear membrane starts
to reform, chromosomes lengthen, cytokinesis begins (cytokinesis: the
division of the cytoplasm), 2 new identical cells
The importance of DNA: (deoxyribonucleic acid) is located in the nucleus of the cell

A strand of DNA is called a chromosome(humans have 46 chromosomes in each
cells)
DNA in each cell is identical (it codes for characteristics, structure and function
of cells)
Cell: basic unit of life for all living things
Organelle: any structure found in the cytoplasm of a cell that has a specific form and
function
Nucleus: control center organelle of the cell
Cell wall: surrounds and protects the cell membrane of a plant cell
Cell membrane: holds and protects the contents of plant and animal cells in place
Cytoplasm: Jelly like substance that fills the cell and surrounds the organelles
Chromosomes: Genetic material and proteins found in the nucleus of the cell; only visible
in mitosis
Mitochondria: oval shaped organelles that produce energy for the cell
Endoplasmic Reticulum: Organelle responsible for the transport of materials in the cell
Lysosome: a small organelle that is filled with enzymes that break down large molecules
Golgi Apparatus: It receives proteins from the endoplasmic reticulum; Organelle that sorts
and packages protein molecules for the cell
Vacuole: An organelle that can store water, sugar, minerals and proteins for the cell
Chloroplast: The organelle that contains the green pigment chlorophyll, used in
photosynthesis
Nucleolus: The production and assembly of proteins (ribosome components)
Ribosome: organelle that assembles proteins; is attached to rough endoplasmic reticulum
or free in the cytoplasm
Cancer: when a healthy cell does the wrong job, then cell division happens (cancer spreads)
Why cancer cells are bad:
Lose ability to function as a normal cell
Undergo increased rates of cellular division
Have high rates of metabolism (steal resources from other cells)
Crowd out healthy cells
Do not attach well to other cells (cancer spreads)
Tumors:
1. Benign (non cancerous)
Enclosed in a shell
Take up space
Might interfere with surrounding tissues or blood
2. Malignant (cancerous)
Not usually contained
Invade and emit claw like protrusions that disrupt the normal cell
function of other cells
Types of cancers:
1. Carcinomas- cancer of skin and lining organs
2. Sarcomas- cancer of connective tissues (bones and muscle)
3. Lymphomas- cancer of lymph nodes
4. Leukemia- cancer of bone marrow and blood
