Home: Welcome
Basic Biological Principles
Here is a study guide to prepare you for the Keystone exams and help demonstrate an better understanding of the biology modules that they studied in biochem 1 and Biochem 2. the following Keystone topics will be covered: Basic Biological Principles, The Chemical Basis for Life, Bioenergetics: Photosynthesis and Cellular Respiration, Homeostasis and transport, and Cell Growth and Reproduction. Including Genetics, Theory of Evolution, and Ecology. In looking over this study guide you can benefit in gaining more knowledge for the KeyStone Be mindful of the links and resources provided for you to look over.
Essential Questions
Describe what prokaryotes and Eukaryotes have in common?
Describe what prokaryotes and Eukaryotes don’t have in common?
Summary
The biological principals cover a lot of topics such as prokaryotic cell which is a cell missing a nucleus as well as other organelles. And eukaryotic cell which does not have a missing nucleus. The characteristic of life shared by all organisms is developing growing evolving into an organism even greater. And the Different levels of biological organization function together by building off of one another the cell is the basic building blocks of all organisms and from there, cells work together to form tissues and from there the tissues work together to form organs and from there the organ system keeps the body in Homeostasis.
Objectives
Describe the characteristics of life shared by all prokaryotic and eukaryotic organisms.
Compare cellular structures and their functions in prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells
Describe and interpret relationships between structure and function at various levels of biological organization (i.e., organelles, cells, tissues, organs, organ systems, and multicellular organisms).
