Document Summary
Inductive reasoning - specific case to general principle. Deductive reasoning - general case to the specific. Tissue - groups of similar cells, with a specific function. All cells contain same organelle - the ribosome (site of protein synthesis) Woese - divisions of life based on similar rna. Top 10 things that characterize a cell as living: Life and cells obey physical/chemical laws of universe. All cells are derived from a single primordial cell. Cells transform energy via: 1. capturing light energy, 2. redox reactions, 3. e- flow. Autotrophs - organisms capable of synthesizing all their organic molecules using co2 as sole c source. *photosynthetic autographs use solar light energy via e- capture they capture light by chlorophyll, transfer e- from hydrogen donor (water) to co2 to reduce it to ch20 **chemotrophic organisms use simple inorganic molecules are their e- energy source.
