Bio 1 - Charistics of life and Properties of water

Organazation

All living things are made of Cells.
Unicellular (bacteria)
Multicellular (whale)

Genetic Material - (DNA)

Living things have genetic material in the form of DNA or RNA.
50% from mom, 50% from dad

Reproduction

Living things must produce new individuals called offspring.

Growth and Development

Living things grow by:
cells becoming larger
dividing to produce more cells

Response

Living things must respond to the enviornment that they are in.

Evolutionary Adaptation

Living things change over a long period of time, and certain changes (adaptations) help them to survive and reproduce -> evolution

Energy Processing

All living things need a source of energy.
Use energy to break down and build up materials - metabolism

Regulation

Organisms need to maintain homeostaisis - stable internal conditions

Cohesion

water sticking to water
hydrogen bonding

Adhesion

water sticking to something else

Capillary Action

the tendency of water being pulled by something

Surface Tension

cohesion = something staying on top of the water that doesnt break the water

Universal Solvent

water disolving things

Specific Heat Capacity

a lot of heat to raise the temp of water

Hydrophobic

water fearing
any kind of fat or oil

Hydrophillic

water loving
