BIOL 141 Lecture Notes - Lecture 1: Matryoshka Doll, Central Dogma Of Molecular Biology, Food Chain
Document Summary
Transfer of energy and matter through systems , matter specific, trophic level --> matter moving through the trophic system i. Transformation of matter: chemical energy within bonds of carbon molecules are converted to another type of energy (changing forms). i. Photosynthesis (light --> glucose, turning sugar into atp). Transmission: act of passing on genetic information to offspring. Can be parent-child, but can also occur on other levels: ex. Dna: central dogma: dna must be expressed into proteins (protein synthesis) Instructional booklet gets processed and given to workers. Human/neanderthal genome merged at one time: technological help/ability in today"s world. Sequencing: structure of dna/nucleic acids are directly responsible for protein manufacture. Organization: new properties emerge at each level of biological complexity. Russian nesting doll: gets more complex at each doll w/ nesting arrangement arrangement. Relationship between structure and associated function/or function and associated structure. All organisms, at simplest functioning form, organisms: cells. All themes have to work together on some level.
