1
New cards
Biology
The science that studies life.
2
New cards
Viruses
Entities that exhibit some characteristics of life, such as reproduction and causing diseases, but do not meet all criteria to be classified as living organisms.
3
New cards
Properties of Life
Key characteristics shared by all living organisms: order, sensitivity, reproduction, adaptation, growth and development, regulation, homeostasis, and energy processing.
4
New cards
Order
The organized structure of organisms, made up of one or more cells.
5
New cards
Sensitivity or Response to Stimuli
The ability of organisms to respond to environmental changes.
6
New cards
Reproduction
The biological process of producing new individuals, passing DNA from parents to offspring.
7
New cards
Adaptation
The evolutionary process through which organisms adjust to their environment to enhance survival and reproduction.
8
New cards
Growth and Development
The process where organisms grow according to specific genetic instructions.
9
New cards
Regulation
The mechanisms used by organisms to coordinate internal functions and respond to changes.
10
New cards
Homeostasis
The ability of an organism to maintain stable internal conditions despite external changes.
11
New cards
Energy Processing
The use of energy from various sources for metabolic activities by organisms.
12
New cards
Hierarchy of Biological Organization
The organized structure of life, progressing from atoms to molecules, organelles, cells, tissues, organs, organ systems, organisms, populations, communities, ecosystems, and the biosphere.
13
New cards
Taxonomy
The science of naming and classifying organisms, developed by Carl Linnaeus.
14
New cards
Domains of Life
The three broad classifications of life: Eukarya, Archaea, and Bacteria.
15
New cards
Phylogenetic Tree
A diagram illustrating the evolutionary relationships among species based on genetic and physical traits.
16
New cards
Molecular Biology
The study of biological processes at the molecular level, including the interactions of DNA, RNA, and proteins.
17
New cards
Forensic Science
The application of scientific principles to legal questions, often involving the biological analysis of evidence.
18
New cards
Extremophiles
Organisms that live in extreme conditions, such as those found in the domain Archaea.
19
New cards
Binomial Naming System
A two-part naming system for species that includes the genus and species names, developed by Carl Linnaeus.
