Anatomy - What the structure looks like, relationship between structures. Two types of anatomy - gross anatomy and microscopic anatomy gross anatomy - visible structures that can be seen with the naked eye Microscopic Anatomy - deals with structures too small to be seen with the naked eye Two types of gross anatomy - regional and systemic Regional - all the structures found in a particular region of the body ex.) chest region Systemic - Structures found in the same system ex.) ...

4 features shared by all cells - 1. surrounded by plasma membrane 2. contain cytosol (semifluid aqueous interior) 3. all cells contain chromosomes that canary information in the form of DNA 4. all cells have ribosomes (synthesis of protein, synthesis takes place) adhesion - water sticks to other polar substances that it can bond hydrogen to animalia - multicellular eukaryotes that ingest other organisms are the electrons of water shared equally - no, the electrons spend more time orbiting ...

Alternation of generations - Cycle has BOTH multicellular haploid & multicellular diploid forms Are the most visible life stages of the land plant groups sporophytes (2n) or gametophytes (n)? - All are sporophyte except nonvascular is gametophyte Changing-environment hypothesis - offspring that are genetic clones of their parents are unlikely to thrive if the environment changes Crossing over - homologous chromosomes exchange genetic information Diploid dominant life cycle - Similar to ani...

3 Keys for Life on Earth - 1.) One flow of high-quality energy from the sun 2.) Nutrient cycling 3.) Gravity Affluence and Environmental Degradation - disproportionate difference in resource use between developed and developing countries Angiosperms - seed producing plants that have flowers and produce fruit whcih contain seeds Autumn Olive - invasive shrub, aggressive during sucession has edible berries Biodiversity - variety of life forms/species and the genes they contain, variety of e...

Anatomy - What the structure looks like, relationship between structures. Cellular Level - Cells are the smallest unit of life All cells have one thing in common: producing ATP Cells all have different functions depending on where they are found ex.) stomach cells vs. heart cells Chemical Level - Formation of molecules from atoms Control Center - (central nervous system) receives the message from the receptor, interprets it, determines a response, and sends message to the effector Cytolog...
