Define biology 

what is the study of living things

100
  • Biological research can essentially be broken down into two, broad inquiries relating to 

what is structure and function

100

 organisms are relatively simple and

what is a prokaryotic

100
  • The molecule responsible for encoding these instructions is

what is dna (_Deoxyribonucleic acid___)

100
  •  is the used to drive metabolic process from cellular signaling, to chemical synthesis

what is Adenosine triphosphate

200
A piece by piece approach describes the principle of 

What is reductionism

200

 relates to the way something is and its components

what is structure

200

 cells are more complex

what is Eukaryotic

200
  • DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) is made up of 4 different

  • They have specific pairings arranged on a __double helix__

what is the different nucleotides

Adenine

  • Thymine

  • Guanine

  • Cytosine

200
  • _Discrete data (bones, how many eyes, how many legs)__ are those that fall into some predefined numerical category

what is Discrete data

300

examines the interactions between multiple components to understand these emergent properties

what is system biology 

300

relates to the way something is and its components

what is function

300
  • organisms are single celled and lack membrane bound organelles

  • Structurally simpler than eukaryotes

  • They are none the less incredibly successful and diverse

what is a prokaryotic

300

 describes which genes, and their associated proteins, are being read and manufactured at a given time

what is gene expression

300
  • Data my be recorded as specific numerical values, known as

what is quantitative data

400

The smallest unit of organization that encompasses all characteristics of life is the

what is a cell

400

Metabolic reactions are responsible for everything from DNA replication, to the generation of

what is ATP

400
  • organisms do possess complex, membrane bound structures

  • Consequently, they are often significantly larger

  • May include multicellular organisms

what is a eukaryotic

400

The entire collection of genes in an organism is the  

what is genome
400

Those data not practically reduced to numerical values are recorded as __Qualitative data__

what is qualitave data

500
  • may be defined as a change in heritable characteristics over time

what is evolution

500
  • A scientific theory_ is a broad, well-established principle supported by a variety of hypotheses

what is scientific theory

500
  • Energy use and transfer is performed through a variety of chemical reactions collectively referred to as 

what is metabolism

500
  • Found in the nucleus in eukaryotes, DNA is organized on

  • On chromosomes,     are specific sequences that code for proteins

what is a chromosomes

what is a gene

500

 may manifest as any value, and so are theoretically infinite in their outcome

what is Continuous data_
