BSC 1005 Lecture Notes - Lecture 1: Photosynthesis, Chlorophyll, Decomposer
Document Summary
Biology, organisms, taxon, autotrophs, heterotrophs, photosynthesis, metabolism, dna, Mutation, domain, kingdom, biological hierarchy, scientific names, binomials. Organisms any living creature, either unicellular or multicellular. Taxon (plural taxa) a group of organism. Organisms that can make their own food. Chlorophyll pigment can use the sun and co2 to make glucose. Tissue is made up different types of cells. Digestive systems is made up stomach, liver, intestine, spleen, etc. All made out of organs, tissues, cell, living organisms. A species is a group of individuals that can interbreed. Community different population in the same area. Dna as genetic blueprint instructions for growth and development. Metabolism ability to respire, photosynthesize, digest, etc. Homestasis maintenance of internal environment within range suitable for cell activities. Ex: pancreas maintains level of sugar in blood. Ex: nectarine is a mutation of a peach. Three domains: archaea kingdom archaebacteria, bacteria- kingdom eubacteria, eukarya- 4 kingdoms. Genus/ genera includes 1 or more species.
