Biology: Uni-Cellular Vs. Multi-Cellular
UNIT 1 – What is Biology?
What is biology? the study of living organisms, divided into many specialized fields that cover their morphology, physiology, anatomy, behavior, origin, and distribution.
Biotic vs. abiotic factors
Biotic- living factors i.e. plants, animals, fungi, bacteria, and protest
Abiotic- nonliving factors that affect living organisms. Environmental factors: habitat & weather
7 Characteristics of living things (Bio 3 Book Ch. 1)
Uni-cellular vs. Multi-cellular
Uni-Cellular- single celled organisms, i.e. bacteria, amoeba, and viruses. They have cilia that help them move around and reproduce both asexually and sexually. They get their food through phagocytosis. They are
Multi-cellular- living organisms made up of

Peptide bond: Where is it? Is it covalent or ionic?
Amino acids are linked together by peptide bonds to form polypeptide chains and it’s covalent.
Primary, secondary, tertiary, and quaternary structure and examples.
Primary: One long, squiggly line made up of amino acids
Secondary: Occurs when the sequence of amino acids are linked by hydrogen bonds; makes an alpha helix (like a ribbon).
Tertiary: Occurs when certain attractions are present between alpha helixes and pleated sheets (like a see through intestine) 3D
Quaternary: Protein consisting of more than one amino acid chain. Relationship between structure (3-D shape) and function
ENZYMES are important proteins (Ch. 3 and Ch. 5 in bio 3 book)
Chemical reactions, chemical equations, reactants, products

How are enzymes named? enzymes are named for their function and structure. amino acid sequencing helps in naming an enzymes because enzymes are catalytic proteins .
What are enzymes? What do they do? Are they reused?
Enzymes are proteins that speed up chemical reactions and act as catalysts.
Breaks down food and speed up chemical

    A: Amino acids are linked together in such an arrangement that they form long polypeptide chains. The alpha helix is formed when the polypeptide chains twist in a spiral manner. This enables all of the amino acids in the chain to form hydrogen bonds with each other. An example of an alpha helix assembly is fingernails. The beta-pleated sheet is polypeptide chain running along side each other; this gives the arrangement a wave-like illusion. Beta-pleated sheets are also linked together by hydrogen bonds. An example of beta-pleated sheets is a feather.…

    Cell structures come in various shapes and sizes dependent on their location within an organism and what life sustaining process it carries out. These can range from the globular protein of a red blood cell, designed to carry four oxygen molecules at a time to the tail like flagellum of a bacteria designed for mobility and penetration of organs within a body. There are tow major types of cells, prokaryotic cells and eukaryotic cells. An organelle is defined as an…

    A unicellular organism, also known as a single-celled organism, is an organism that consists of only one cell, unlike a multicellular organism that consists of multiple cells. Historically the simple single celled organisms have sometimes been referred to as monads.[1] The main groups of unicellular organisms are bacteria, archaea, protozoa, unicellular algae and unicellular fungi. Unicellular organisms fall into two general categories: prokaryotic organisms and eukaryotic organisms.Unicellular organisms are believed to be the oldest form of life, possibly existing 3.8 billion years ago.[2]…

    Each amino acid has at least one amine and one acid functional group as the name implies. The different properties result from variations in the structures of different R groups. The R group is often referred to as the amino acid side chain. Amino acids have special common names, however, a three letter abbreviation for the name is used most of the time. A second abbreviation , single letter, is used in long protein structures.Consult the table on the left for structure, names, and abbreviations of 20 amino acids.…
