BIO_SC 1010 Lecture Notes - Swat 4, Maltose, Hydrolysis
Document Summary
Biological diversity: domain bacteria, domain archea, domain eukarya, protista, plants, fungi, animals. Mechanism is natural selection : who lives who dies. Can"t be defined, too complex": life is organized, transform energy: food you eat in order to have energy, no food no energy, respond to stimuli: bee buzzing around your face, reaction is to swat, reproduction: reproduce sexually. Increase in size: grow as an infant to a mature adult . All living things are made and utilize the same type of molecules and structures, so it is necessarily important to study chemistry. Atom, which contains the neutrons, electrons, and contains a nucleus. Hydrogen is the simplest thing in the universe: containing only one proton, and electrons. An element is stable when it has the maximum amount of electron in it"s orbitals. The second, is helium which contains two electrons, and protons, which makes it stable. With chemical bonds, the structure of that element will be joined with that element.
