  • Unit of life:

    Gene

  • Process of adaptation & speciation

    : Evolution

  • Power source: Physical and/or Chemical

    Energy

  • Build & maintain body

    Biomolecules

  • Unit of heredity

    Gene

  • Regulate internal env

    Homeostasis

  • The chemical Adenosine Triphosphate

    (ATP) is the source of energy for all living things

  • ATP has three phosphorus groups, linked by

    high-energy bonds

  • When one phosphorus group is removed, energy is

    released and transferred to where it’s needed

  • . ATP now has only 2 phosphorus groups, renamed to Adenosine Diphosphate

    (ADP)

  • . Energy from sunlight (autotrophs) or food (heterotrophs) is used to reattach P back onto ADP, returning it to ATP, a process known as ATP

    recycling.

  • All living things require

    energy in some form.

  • a. For bio-processes, including growth &

    maintenance

  • Conservation of Energy, The First Law of Thermodynamics

    says that energy can neither be created nor destroyed, only changed in form.

  • Food

    acquisition, distribution, & processing

  • Waste

    processing & removal

  • Growth &

    support systems

  • Resist

    predators, pathogens, parasites/oids

  • Repair

    damage

  • Reproduction

    (make more of its species)

  • Sequoia sempervirens (Coast redwood, California redwood) Cupressaceae (Cypress Family)

    This is the tallest tree species on Earth and is California’s state tree. ( gynosperm )

  • Sequoiadendron giganteum (Giant sequoia, bigtree) Family: Cupressaceae (Cypress Family)

    Known for being the largest tree by volume. Also a California state tree. Gymnosperms (Non-flowering Seed Plants)

  • Angiosperm Eudicots:

    Papaveraceae - Poppy Family

  • Eschscholzia californica Angiosperms

    California poppy; state flower

  • Monocots: Angiosperms

    Poaceae - Grass Family

  • Stipa pulchra Angiosperms

    purple needle grass; state grass ( grass family )

  • Pistachio (Pistacia vera)

    Anacardiaceae (Sumac Family)

    Origin: Native to Iran.

    Why important: Produces pistachio nuts, officially recognized as a state nut.

    Fun fact: This family also includes cashews and mangoes.

  • Walnut (Juglans regia)

    Native to Iran, also called Persian walnut or English walnut.

    Why important: Produces edible walnuts, a state nut.

    Fun fact: Walnut trees release chemicals into the soil (juglone) that can inhibit other plants nearby.

  • Pecan (Carya illinoinensis)

    Family: Juglandaceae (Walnut Family, same as walnut).

    Origin: Native to the eastern United States.

    Why important: Produces pecans, a state nut.

  • Almond (Prunus amygdalus)

    Family: Rosaceae (Rose Family).

    Origin: Native to Iran.

    Why important: Produces almonds, a state nut.

    Fun fact: The rose family is huge — it includes apples, cherries, peaches, strawberries, and roses.

  • ymbiosis between alga + fungus

    amalina menziesii - lace lichen; state lichen
