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 …show more content…

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
