AP Bio Chapter 1

Introduction

TermDefinition
Evolution Process of change that transformed life on Earth; fundamental organizing principle of biology
Properties of LIfe Order, regulation, energy processing, growth, reproduction, adaption, response to environment
8 themes 1) New properties emerge at each level in biological heirarchy 2) Organisms interact with others and physical environment 3) Life requires energy transfer and transformation 4) Structure and function are correlated at all levels of bio organiziation
8 themes cont. 5)Cell is an org's basica unit of structure/funt 6) Continuity of life based on heritable info (DNA) 7) Feedback mechanisms regulate biological systems 8)Evolution
Emergent Properties Due to arrangement and interactions of parts as complexity increases
Power and Limitations of Reductionism reducing complex systems to simpler components that are easier to manage/study
Systems Biology approach that attempts to model dynamic behavior of whole bio systems based on study of interactions among parts
Eukaryotic Cell animal/plant, subdivided by internal membranes into various organelles, largest usually being nucleus which contains DNA, other located in cytoplasm
Prokarytoic Cell simpler, usually smaller, bacteria/archaea, DNA not separated, lack other organelles
Foundation of all reproduction, growth, repair Division of cells
Levels of Biological Organization atom, molecules, organelles, cells, tissues, organs, organ systems, organisms, populations, communities, ecosystems, biosphere (AMOCTOOOPCEB - AM October, ooo, please carry extra bags)
Genome entire "library" of genetic instructions an org inherits
Genomics studying whole sets of genes of a species as well as comparing genomes between species rather than studying a single gene at a time
Bioinformatics use of computational tools to store, organize, and analyze huge volume of data
Negative Feedback accumulation of an end product slows process down
Positive Feedback end product speeds up its own production (clotting)
3 Domains of Life Bacteria (most diverse), Archaea (extreme enviros), Eukarya
Science way of knowing; an approach to understanding the natural world
Inquiry Search for info and explanation
Data Recorded observations
Inductive Reasoning derive generalizations from large # of specific observations
Hypothesis tentative answer to well framed question
Deductive Reasoning General to specific
Theory Broad, general, supported by lots of evidence
Technology Method/device that applies sci knowledge for some specific purpose that affects society

Use these flashcards to help memorize information. Look at the large card and try to recall what is on the other side. Then click the card to flip it. If you knew the answer, click the green Know box. Otherwise, click the red Don't know box.

When you've placed seven or more cards in the Don't know box, click "retry" to try those cards again.

If you've accidentally put the card in the wrong box, just click on the card to take it out of the box.

You can also use your keyboard to move the cards as follows:

If you are logged in to your account, this website will remember which cards you know and don't know so that they are in the same box the next time you log in.

When you need a break, try one of the other activities listed below the flashcards like Matching, Snowman, or Hungry Bug. Although it may feel like you're playing a game, your brain is still making more connections with the information to help you out.

To see how well you know the information, try the Quiz or Test activity.
