Panspermia - Answer Explores whether life came from another planet or not, based on the proposal that meteors from space came with either simple living organisms or the complex molecules needed to start life on earth. Abiogenises - Answer Life originated spontaneously from simple atoms and molecules combining under high temperature in the presence of water, lightning, limited availability of oxygen, and other conditions of early earth. Reducing Environment - Answer Favor the addin...

BIO 311C - FINAL EXAM REVIEW. CH 1. THE SCIENCE OF BIOLOGY 1. What is biological hierarchy? Know the levels and examples. Nothing else. Atoms (C, H, O, N, S, etc.) -> Molecules (water, amino acids, sugar) -> Macromolecules (proteins, carbohydrates, lipids, etc.) -> Organelles/Parts of a cell (membrane, nucleus, mitochondria, etc.) -> Cell -> Tissues (bone, muscle, nerve, etc.) -> Organs (heart, lungs, brain, etc.) -> Organ System (circulatory, reproductive, etc.) -> ...

BIO 311C - Exam 3 Study Guide: Biochemistry. INTRODUCTION TO METABOLISM (30%): 1. Define metabolism, anabolism, and catabolism, and give examples for each. a. Metabolism → refers to all the biochemical reactions going on in the cell (meta = change) i. Combining anabolism and catabolism is metabolism b. Anabolism → synthesis process (+) (ana = synthesis) i. Individual monomers combine together to make a polymer (energy consuming, energy is required to synthesize larger molecul...

BIO 311C- Exam 1 Study Guide. Introduction/themes in biology: Explain what characterizes life, i.e. what are the different properties of life? Growth & development, evolution, response to environment, energy processing, reproduction, order, regulation What is an emergent property? Be prepared to give examples. A property that only complete systems have, and individual parts of the system do not. Compare reductionism to systems biology and suggest advantages and disadvantages of each
