Document Summary
Biology compasses all stem science, technology, engineering, math. Cell theory: a scientific theory which describes the properties of cells. These cells are the basic unit of structure in all organisms and also the basic unit of reproduction. Molecular inheritance: refers to genes and dna. Organelles: tiny structures made up of molecules. Tissues: groups of similar cells that act as a functional unit. Organs: body structures composed of several different tissues that act as a structural and functional unit. Population: group of organisms of the same species living in the same place. Species: members similar in appearance and able to inbreed. Biological community: consists of all the populations of different species living together in one place. Ecosystem: biological community and the physical habitat within which it lives together. Emergent properties result from the way in which components interact, and they often cannot be deduced just from looking at the parts themselves.
