BIG Ideas:
1. Evolution is the driving force for both diversity and unity of biological life.
2. Biological systems use energy and molecular building blocks to grow, reproduce and maintain homeostasis.
3. Living systems receive, transmit, and respond to information which is essential to life.
4. All biological systems interact. Every interaction possesses complex properties.

Word Roots you should know for chp. 22
 bio- = life; geo- = the Earth (biogeography: the study of the past and present
distribution of species)
 end- = within (endemic: a type of species that is found only in one region and
nowhere else in the world)
 homo- = like, resembling (homology: similarity in characteristics resulting from a
shared ancestry)
 paleo- = ancient (paleontology: the scientific study of fossils)
 vestigi- = trace (vestigial organs: structures of marginal, if any, importance to an
organism, historical remnants of structures that had important functions in ancestors)
