Emergent Properties a property that a complex system has but the individual
members of the system do not.
example: saltiness, because NaCl is salty not Na or Cl.
-all aspects of life contain emergent properties.
Viruses cellular nonliving structures that require a living cell to
reproduce (obligate parasites).
single celled, has an outer capsid that protects nucleic acid
core (RNA) , and requires a host cell to reproduce. have the
ability to reproduce, adapt, are organized, respond to
stimuli, and acquire energy and materials.
2 Main Components of Capsid - outer portion comprised of proteins
Viruses Nucleic Acid Core (DNA or RNA)
Virus Life Cycle Attachment, Entry, Replication, Biosynthesis,
Assembly, Building of Emergence, Repeat
Qualities Of Life Living things are organized, acquire materials, reproduce,
respond to stimuli, are homeostatic, grow and develop, have
the capacity to adapt.
Individuals do not evolve.
Biosphere The sum of all life
Tissue a group of cells that perform a particular function
, Metabolism all of the chemical reactions that occur in a cell
Photosynthesis process that transforms solar energy into the chemical energy
Energy capacity to do work
Systematics study of the evolutionary relationships between organisms
Basic Classifications (most Domain, Kingdom, Phylum, Order, Class, Family,
inclusive to lease species) Genus, and Species
The 3 Domains The largest classification category.
1. Archaea
2. Bacteria
-Both are prokaryotes.
3. Eukarya (4 kingdoms)
Taxonomy Discipline of identifying and grouping organisms according to
certain rules
Prokatyotes lack the membrane bound nucleus found in the cells of
eukaryotes in domain eukarya (found in nucleus)
Kingdoms Eukaryotes -
protists, fungi, plants, animals
Protists Single Celled Organisms, fewer multicellular species
Fungi Familiar molds and mushrooms that help decompose dead
organisms
Plants multicellular photosynthesizers
Animals multicellular and ingest food
Law a description of a pattern in nature
Law of Gravity objects with mass attracted to each other
Law of Evolution life on earth has changed
