Biology Class Summary Notes

The Building Blocks of Life:

● Cells: Basic unit of life, can be unicellular (one cell) or multicellular (many

cells).

● Cell Structure: Includes organelles like nucleus, mitochondria, ribosomes,

etc., each with a specific function.

● Biomolecules: Organic (e.g., carbohydrates, proteins) and inorganic (e.g.,

water) molecules essential for life.

Life Processes:

● Nutrition: How organisms acquire nutrients for energy and growth

(photosynthesis, cellular respiration).

● Transport: Movement of materials within and between cells.

● Excretion: Removal of waste products.

● Homeostasis: Maintaining a stable internal environment.

● Respiration: Cellular process using oxygen to break down glucose for energy

(ATP).

Genetics and Heredity:

● DNA: Deoxyribonucleic acid, the genetic material carrying instructions for

building and maintaining an organism.

● Genes: Units of heredity located on chromosomes, determine traits.

● Chromosomes: Thread-like structures containing genes.

● Mitosis: Cell division for growth and repair.

● Meiosis: Cell division for sexual reproduction, creating genetic variation.

Evolution:
● Theory of Evolution by Natural Selection: Populations change over time as

individuals with advantageous traits survive and reproduce more.

● Adaptation: Traits that increase an organism's chance of survival and

reproduction.

Other Important Areas:

● Ecology: Interactions between organisms and their environment.

● Biodiversity: Importance of variety of life on Earth.

● Biotechnology: Using biological processes for human benefit.

Note: This is a general summary. Specific topics may vary depending on your class

level and curriculum.
