Presentation Transcript

  1. Key Concepts -for MIDTERM EXAM and beyond

  2. The “cellular” life • Unicellular vsMulticellular • Group work

  3. The “diverse” life • What is biodiversity? • Species-ability to successfully reproduce • Adaptation-successful changes over time

  4. Models of life • Computer simulation? • The real deal---DNA---on the molecular genetics level

  5. quick side-step---chemistry • When it is all “boiled down” to the basics: • Structure of an atom----like the cell (a smallest unit, but without life)

  6. quick side-step---chemistry (cont.) • 1) physical state of any matter: solid, liquid, or gas: • solid • liquid • gas

  7. Now, importance to biology • ENERGY: • Bonds break and release ENERGY • Release of energy is EXOTHERMIC versus endothermic

  8. How does this happen for biology? • In the cell, specifically, the cytoplasm: • Eukaryotic versus • Prokaryotic • Organelles and a cytoskeleton
