Campbell Essential Biology notes

The DNA molecule consists of 4 nitrogen bases, namely adenine (A), thymine (T), cytosine (C) and Guanine (G), which ultimately form the structure of a nucleotide. The A and G are purines, and the C and T are pyrimidines. The two strands of DNA run in opposite directions.

These documents cover what is taught in Biology 215 at the United States Air Force Academy. It follows the text of Campbell Essential Biology, covering Ecology, Cells, Genetics, and Evolution.

The cell cycle (cell-division cycle), is a series of events that take place in a cell leading to its division and duplication. The main phases of the cell cycle are interphase, nuclear division, and cytokinesis. Cell division produces two daughter cells.

Evolution is the process of change in all forms of life over generations, and evolutionary biology is the study of how evolution occurs. Biological populations evolve through genetic changes that correspond to changes in the organisms' observable traits.

1) In what way(s) is the science of biology related to our society? A) by helping us understand the genetics of our pets B) by examining the importance of biodiversity C) through the study of green energy D) all of the answers are correct Answer: D Topic: Biology and Society Skill: Remember/Understand Learning Outcome: 1.1 Global LO: 5, 7 2) What is biology?

Photosynthesis converts carbon dioxide and water into oxygen and glucose. Glucose is used as food by the plant and oxygen is a by-product. Cellular respiration converts oxygen and glucose into water and carbon dioxide. Water and carbon dioxide are by- products and ATP is energy that is transformed from the process.

Gene regulation is the process of controlling which genes in a cell's DNA are expressed (used to make a functional product such as a protein)
