A central organizing concept in biology is that life changes and develops through evolution‚ and that all life-forms known have a common origin. The theory of evolution postulates that all organisms on the Earth‚ both living and extinct‚ have descended from a common ancestor or an ancestral gene pool. This last universal common ancestor of all organisms is believed to have appeared about 3.5 billion years ago.[21] Biologists generally regard the universality and ubiquity of the genetic code as definitive

Big Idea 2 Biological systems utilize free energy and molecular building blocks to grow‚ to reproduce and to maintain dynamic homeostasis. Living systems require both free energy and matter to maintain order‚ grow and reproduce. Organisms employ various strategies to capture‚ use and store free energy and other vital resources. Energy deficiencies are not only detrimental to individual organisms; they also can cause disruptions at the population and ecosystem levels. Biological systems must both

Chem.‚ 68(7)‚ 2680-2688 (2003). 3.3 cm (0.3×11 protons) of the 4.6 cm intergral height was assigned to the enol structure. Enol % = 3.3/4.6 × 100 = 71.7%‚ Keto % = (4.6-3.3)/4.6 × 100 = 28.3%. The enol structure was the major form of 2-acetylcyclohexanone‚ same as the Pavia et al [1] and Igiesias [11]. The reason for obtaining more enol form (71.7 %) than keto form (28.3 %) of 2-acetylcyclohexanone can be explained
