MODULE 1 BIO 2

It is called as the study of life: Biology

5 unifying themes in order: Organization -> Information -> Energy and Matter -> Interactions -> Evolution

Biological Organization in order: Biosphere -> Ecosystem -> Communities -> Populations -> Organisms -> Organ and Organ Systems -> Tissues -> Cells -> Organelles -> Molecules

“Results from the arrangement and interaction of parts within a system”: Emergent Properties

 It is called “the basic unit of an organism/life”: Cell

the study of sets of genes within and between species: Genomics

The study of whole sets of proteins encoded by the genomes (known as proteomes): Proteomics

It makes logical sense of everything we know about living organisms: Evolution

The branch of biology that names and classifies species into groups of increasing breadth: Taxonomy

He is the father of Zoology and contributed the information about the variety, structure and behavior of animals: Aristotle

change in the genetic make-up of populations of organisms over time: Organic Evolution

He introduced the idea of natural selection: Charles Darwin

He is known as the “Father of Taxonomy” and introduced the use of binomial system of nomenclature for all species: “Karl von Linne or Carolus Linnaeus”

It is a two-part name that describes each kind of organism (genus; species): Binomial system

7 obligatory hierarchical categories: Kingdon -> Phylum -> Classes -> Order -> Family -> Genus -> Species

What are the three domains in hierarchical categories: Eukarya, Bacteria, Archaea

The domain that is prokaryotes: Domain and Archaea

The domain that is eukaryotes: Domain Eukarya

The study of animals: Zoology

One of the broadest fields in all of science because of the immense variety of animals and the complexity of the processes occurring within animals: Zoology

study of the structure of entire organisms and their parts: Anatomy

study of the structure and function of cells: Cytology

study of the interaction of organisms with their environment: Ecology

study of the development of an animal from the fertilized egg to birth or hatching: Embryology

study of the mechanisms of transmission of traits from parents to offspring: Genetics

study of tissues: Histology

study of subcellular details of structure and function: Molecular Biology

study of animals that live in or on other organisms as the expense of the host: Parasitology

study of the function of organisms and their parts: Physiology

study of the classification of, and evolutionary interrelationships among, animal groups: Systematics

 study of insects: Entomology

study of amphibians and reptiles: Ichthyology

study of fishes: Ichthyology

study of mammals: Mammalogy

study of birds: Ornithology

study of protozoa: Protozoology

study of worms: Helminthology

study of crustaceans: Carcinology

study mollusks/molluscs: Malacology

Properties in Life: Order, Energy Processing, Evolutionary Adaptation, Growth and Development, Response to the Environment, Regulation, Reproduction
