Document Summary
Organic compound (fat, starch (= amidon in fr) ) Autotroph: can make organic molecule with inorganic compound and outside energy. > photoautotroph: use light energy and co2 to make glucose. > chemoautotroph: use chemical energy and co2 to make glucose. > chemoheterotroph: consume organic molecules as both energy source and chemicals to transform into other organic molecules (ex: many animals, fungi and bacteria) > photoheterotroph: use light energy but obtain chemicals from food (ex: certain bacteria) Sexual: union of gametes, genetic difference between parents and offspring. Asexual: without sex, no union of gametes, little to no genetic difference. Organism have adaptations which enable them to answer to environmental change. Evolution is the mechanism driving the diversity of life. Life on earth shares a common ancestry. Nothing in biology makes sense except in the light of evolution. 4. 5 bya: formation of planet by accretion impact on earth with large planetoid: moon, spin, tilt.
