Types of Life
Prokaryote- An organism without a nucleus, free floating DNA
-
Extremeophile: a microorganism, especially an archaean, that lives in conditions of extreme temperature, acidity, alkalinity, or chemical concentration.
Different Extremeophiles have different genes that are designed to help them live in the locations that seem inhospitable to us, but normal to them.
-
The different genes are passed down through generations, if a gene helps the organism survive, then it is more likely to be passed down to it's offspring, causing small changes in the organisms that over time add up to larger changes..
Natural selection-the process whereby organisms better adapted to their environment tend to survive and produce more offspring

Enzymes+Substrates
Enzyme-An enzyme is a substance that acts as a catalyst in living organisms, regulating the rate at which chemical reactions proceed without itself being altered
-
-
-
Product- a chemical substance formed as a result of a chemical reaction- There are product(s) formed after the chemical reactions in the enzyme and the substrate
Reactions
Catabolic-catabolic reactions break complex molecules down into simpler ones, releasing chemical energy.
-
-
Bio molecules
Carbohydrates
Made up of Carbon, Hydrogen, Oxygen,
-
-
-
Lipids
Made up of Carbon, Hydrogen, Oxygen,
Function-Primary component of cell wall, energy.
-
Have a Carboxyl group 
Proteins
Made up of Carbon, Hydrogen, Oxygen, Nitrogen
Function: Main functions for life, movement, Enzymes
-
Has a Amino group, Carboxyl group, "R" chain
Nucleic Acids
-
-
Made up of Carbon, Hydrogen, Oxygen, Nitrogen, Phosphorus
Has phosphate groups, Sugar, nitrogenous base
dehydration synthesis a
hydrolysis-the chemical breakdown of a compound due to reaction with water.
Dehydration Synthesis-the creation of larger molecules from smaller monomers where a water molecule is released
