Chapter 1: Principles of Life Concept 1.1: Living Organisms Share Common Aspects of Structure, Function and Energy Flow Biology is the scientific study of living things All living things have a single common ancestor Life as we know it had a single origin All organisms: All organisms are composed of cells and organic material (amino acids, nucleic acids etc.) Contain genetic information for protein synthesis and reproduction Convert environmental molecules into biological molecules Use external energy for internal processes Maintain homeostasis Replicate DNA to prepare for reproduction Maintain similar genetic sequences in the fundamental set of genes Change their genetic information according to changes in environment (evolution)

Joey Miller AP Biology Chapter 5: The Structure and Function of Large Biological Molecules The Molecules of Life Macromolecules ? Huge molecules consisting of thousands of atoms Carbohydrates, proteins, and nucleic acids are macromolecules Macromolecules are Polymers, Built from Monomers Polymer ? A long molecule consisting of many similar or identical building blocks linked by covalent bonds. Carbohydrates, proteins, and nucleic acids are polymers Monomer ? The repeating units that serve as the building blocks of a polymer are smaller molecules called monomers. The Synthesis and Breakdown of Polymers Enzymes ? specialized macromolecules that speed up chemical reactions

Chapter 16 The Molecular Basis of Inheritance Overview: Life?s Operating Instructions In 1953, James Watson and Francis Crick introduced an elegant double-helical model for the structure of deoxyribonucleic acid, or DNA DNA, the substance of inheritance, is the most celebrated molecule of our time Hereditary information is encoded in DNA and reproduced in all cells of the body This DNA program directs the development of biochemical, anatomical, physiological, and (to some extent) behavioral traits Concept 16.1: DNA is the genetic material Early in the 20th century, the identification of the molecules of inheritance loomed as a major challenge to biologists The Search for the Genetic Material: Scientific Inquiry
