Biology Themes
Organization
-
Emergent properties: properties of a system that only appear when the individual components are interacting with each other
-
Structure and function are correlated at everylevel in biology such as leaves maximizing surface area under the sun to capture the most sunlight
-
Information
DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) is the carrier of information and it is stored in genes which make up chromosomes
-
-
-
Energy and Matter
Producers are organisms that convert energy and matter into food molecules that consumers then consume
Ex: some trees bear fruit that humans and other animals eat
-
Interactions
Molecular Interactions
Feedback Mechanisms are processes that change how much a product is produced depending how much product was produced at a previous time
Positive Feedback is a type of feedback that increases the rate of the process as more products are produced
Negative Feedback is a type of feedback that decreases the rate of the process as more products are produced
Ecosystem Interactions
-
Climate Change is defined as a unidirectional change in the climate over a period of three decades or more. Climate change is particularly harmful to a wealth of organisms because it causes weather extremes to occur more frequently.
Evolution is the process of biological change in which species accumulate differences from their ancestors as they adapt to different environments over time
-
Charles Darwin proposed the modern conception of evolution along with the mechanism by which it occurs:
Natural Selection is the idea that the environment "selects" for certain traits in species which allows those traits to be passed down via reproduction
