Charqcteristics of Organism

1Reproduction

Asexual

Sexual

Genetic Recombination - clones

2Hemeostatis - adapts

3Organization - levels of organization

4Irritability - responses to stimuli

Overt responses - readily see

Covert response- internal response

5Metabolism - transform energy from one form to other

Glucose - atp (adenosine triphosphate) transforming of human food to energy

6 Evolution - always progressive, can't demoted always upgrade

-adaptable

-Charles Darwin - Natural Selection

7 Growth -

Biomolecules - Molecules that sustain life

1. Go foods (carbohydrates) -carbon hydrogen oxygen

-main energy source

Building blockw of carbohydrates (monomers)

Monosaccharides - hexose (6carbons), pentose(5carbons)

Three basic hexoses -C6H12O6

Glucose
Galactose (lactose)

Frutose (fruit

Glucose + Glucose - Maltose

Glucose + Galactose - Lactose

Lactase - enzyme to digest lactose

Glucose + fructose - sucrose table sugar

Polysacharides - long term

2. Lipids (CHO)

2nd main energy source

FAT- animal origin

Oil - plqnt

Monomers of lipis

Trigylceride - 1 glycerol

3 fatty acids

3. Grow foods (proteins) - makes up of all of own body structures

CHON

Amino acids - basis sub units

20 known amino acids

4. Nucleic acid

DNA

RNA

Nucleotides -

DNA nucleotides
1. Deoxyribose sugar

2. Phosphate

3. Nitrogenous bases

Purines (Adenine, Guanine),Pyrimudines ( Cytosine, Thymine)

RNA nucleotides

1. Ribose sugar

2. Phosphate

3. Nitrogenous bases

AG C Uracil

A=T A=U

G=C

Strands

DNa - two helix

Watson creic model

Rna - single strand
