Overview of Biology (BIO111)

BIology Have a Container Use Energy Reproduce Evolve Biochemistry Cell Membranes Cell Structure Energy and Metabolism Photosynthesis Respiration Mitosis Meiosis Fertilization Heredity and DNA Biotechnology Evolutionary Thought Evidence for Evolution Carbohydrates Lipids Proteins Nucleic Acids Membrane Structure Diffusion and Osmosis Transport Prokaryotes and Eukaryotes Eukaryotic Cell Organelles Laws of Thermodynamics and Life ATP and Energy Transfers Enzymes and Biological Reactions How do plants capture light energy? What do plants do with the sun's energy? How do plants build tasty molecules for us to eat? Aerobic respiration Anaerobic Respiration The Cell Cycle and Cancer Control of Cell Division Stem Cells Stages of Mitosis Differences between Mitosis and Meiosis Spermatogenesis (sperm) Oogenesis (eggs) stages of meiosis Human reproduction and development Ethical issues in modern reproductive technology Mendelian Genetics Chromosomal Genetics Human Genetic Diseases DNA Structure DNA to RNA to Proteins: Central Dogma of Biology Human Genome Project Genetic Engineering Gel Electrophoresis DNA Fingerprinting Lamarck Charles Darwin Why do organisms change? Genomics and Molecular Clocks Comparative Anatomy Evolutionary Mechanisms Modern Taxonomy http://ludwig.lajuntaschools.org What must living things be able to do? (why do you need food?) (why don't you catch on fire after eating breakfast?) (what's an enzyme?) (Yum!) (Oils, fats, etc.) (Not just for breakfast...) (Do you know the two main types?) (yup, its poster-making time) (Simple ideas, big consequences for medicine and health) (Uh, it moves stuff) (old school vs. new school critters) (remember that model of a cell you made out of jello/pasta/styrofoam?) Gene Regulation: Are all genes on all the time? Ecology matter and energy cycles interactions between species population dynamics
