Eukaryotic cells
• true nucleus and organelles
• plants, animals, protists, and
fungi are eukaryotes
Prokaryotic cells
• lack a nucleus and membrane
bound organelles
• bacteria

All organisms are made up of one or more
cells.
The cell is the basic unit of organization of
all organisms.
All cells come from other cells all ready in
existence.

Homeostasis
 Steady State
 Self-adjusting mechanism that helps to maintain
your internal environment

Diffusion- movement of materials form a higher
concentration to a lower concentration
 Hypertonic
 Hypotonic
 Isotonic

Osmosis- diffusion of water through a Membrane

Passive transport is the
movement of materials
without energy
 Diffusion, osmosis,
facilitated diffusion

Active Transport
requires energy
 Pumps, exocytosis,
endocytosis

Information
 6 CO2 + 6H2O

C6H12O6 + 6O2
Occurs in chloroplasts
 Two parts:
 Light reaction
 Calvin cycle (dark
reaction)

Cellular
respiration,
glucose is broken
down to a form
the cell can use.
 Energy is stored in
an ATP molecule
(adenosine
triphosphate) .

The process of breaking down food
molecules to release energy
 Occurs in the mitochondria
 Two types:
 Aerobic – requires oxygen
 Anaerobic – occurs without oxygen

 C6H12O6 + 6O2  6CO2 + 6H2O + energy

Diploid cells produced by
mitosis, binary fission
Identical copy produced
SEXUAL
Gametes, haploid cells,
produced by meiosis
 Gametes combine during
fertilization to produce
diploid cell
 First diploid cell known as a
zygote
 Zygote grows into an
embryo through mitosis

DNA - blueprint for life
Double helix
Nucleotides are the building
blocks
Contains a deoxyribose
sugar, phosphate group, and
4 bases:
 Adenine - Thymine
 Cytosine – Guanine
Copies itself by Replication

Transcription
 mRNA copies the
message from DNA in
the nucleus

Translation
 Forms a protein by
translating the
message on RNA into
an amino acid
sequence

A TRAIT is each variant for a characteristic. For example, a flower’s
color may be red of white (trait).

An ALLELE is an alternative version of a gene.

Two alleles that are the same are said to be HOMOZYGOUS.

Two alleles that are different are said to be HETEROZYGOUS.

A DOMINANT allele is represented by a capital letter (ex. D). A
dominant allele always makes its presence known in a phenotype

A RECESSIVE allele is represented by a lower case letter (ex. d). In a
heterozygote, it is usually masked by a dominant allele, and only is
expressed if both alleles are recessive (ex. dd).

PHENOTYPE is the way an organism looks.

GENOTYPE is the genetic makeup of an organism.

A Punnett square is used to predict what will
happen when a male and a female reproduce.



Principle of Dominance – some forms of a gene
or trait are dominant over the others
Principle of Segregation – when forming sex
cells the paired alleles separate so that each egg
or sperm carries only on form of the allele
Principle of Independent Assortment – each pair
of alleles segregates independently during the
formation of the egg or sperm

Gene mutations – affect individual genes
 Substitution GAU instead of GAA – calls for a different amino
acid
 Frameshift – entire line gets shifted – calls for different amino
acid chain

Chromosomal mutations – affect entire chromosome
 Duplication – extra chromosome
 Deletion – missing chromosome
 Inversion – chromosome reattaches backwards
 Translocation – segment of chromosome attached to another pair
Forensics - DNA sequence of
every person is unique and
can be used for
identification
 Medicine-Diagnosis of
genetic diseases and the
development of cures and
gene therapy
 Agriculture-Using genetic
technology, plants are
mutated to improve disease
resistance and crop output

Natural selection - how species evolve by
adapting to their environment also known as
survival of the fittest
Evidence
 Fossil record
 Antibiotic resistance
 Adaptations
 Vestigial organs
 Homologous structures
 Embryonic development
 Genetic makeup

Taxonomy – classification of
organisms based on structure,
behavior, development, genetic
make-up
Evolutionary theory is the basis
for taxonomy
Kingdom, Phylum, Class, Order,
Family, Genus, Species
Aristotle first classified plants
and animals
Carolus Linnaeus developed
basis of system used today

Population
Ecosystem
Population – group of a single
species living in the same
