- B2~ Biology
- Classification
- Evolutionary relationships: How organisms are related.
- Ecological relationships: How organisms interact with each other.
- Natural Classification: Based on the evolutionary relationship and genetic similarities between organisms.
- Artifical Relation ships: Based on appearance rather than genes- only used to identify organisms.
- DNA sequencing: Allows us to see genetic difference between different groups of organisms.
- Evolutionary relationships: How organisms are related.
- Species
- A species is a group of organisms which can interbreed with each other to produce fertile offspring.
- Asexual Reproduction: An organism reproduces by making a copy of itself. There is no inbreeding with another organism.
- Hybrids: If you interbreed a male and female from different species you'll get a hybrid. Hybrids are infertile and its difficult to classify them.
- Organisms evolve over time. Sometimes they evolve so much that they produce a new species.
- The binomial system: Each species is given a two part Latin name. The first part refers to the genus and the second part to the species.
- Pyramids of Biomass and numbers.
- Dry biomass: You'd dry out all the water from the organisms before weighing them.
- Pyramids of biomass are almost always pyramid shaped whereas pyramid of numbers can be of any shape.
- Energy Transfer and Energy flow
- Energy lost at each chain of the food chain is for staying alive e.g respiration.
- Material and energy are also lost as waste products.
- Egestion is where food that cant be digestions passes out as feces.
- Excretion is when the waste products are released e.g urine.
- Food chains only go up to five trophic levels because so much energy is lost so that there wouldn't be enough.
