Life is membrane delimited, stores and transmits instructions, stores, transforms, and uses energy, controls its functions and responds to the environment, is self-replicating, and is evolving.
The cell is the smallest unit of life.
Seeking help early prevents confusion from accumulating and improves understanding before quizzes and exams.
Set goals, develop a schedule, join study groups, attend office hours, use concept maps and flashcards, and test yourself by explaining concepts without notes.
Observation, hypothesis formation, prediction, experimentation with controls, and conclusion.
A control group does not receive the experimental treatment and serves as a baseline to compare results.
The cake recipe without baking powder is the control to compare the effect of adding baking powder.
The independent variable is the factor being tested; the dependent variable is the result or change measured.
Because of natural memory decay without reinforcement or active recall.
Spaced repetition with multiple study sessions before testing improves retention.
Biomolecules facilitate life’s properties such as energy transformation, information storage, and cellular functions.
Data is frequently presented graphically, showing relationships between variables on axes.
A hypothesis is a testable explanation or prediction based on observations.
Ensures that only the variable being tested causes changes, by using controls and consistent conditions.
They help explain complicated mechanisms and data relationships clearly.
Self-replication allows organisms to reproduce and pass genetic information to offspring.
Life controls its functions and adapts or reacts to environmental changes.
Living organisms store, transform, and use energy to maintain functions and grow.
Evolution allows populations to change over time, adapting to their environment.
Regular attendance and using resources like slides and office hours support learning and prevent falling behind.
