Organic refers to something that is derived from living organisms or composed of organic compounds. It can also describe a natural process or system that is characteristic of living organisms.
Metabolism refers to the chemical processes that occur within living organisms to maintain life. It includes activities such as digestion, energy production, and waste elimination. Metabolism involves the breakdown of molecules to release energy and the synthesis of molecules needed for growth and repair.
"Radical biology" refers to the role of free radicals in living organisms.
No, an atom is not an ecosystem. An ecosystem refers to a community of living organisms and their interactions with the environment, while an atom is the basic unit of matter. Ecosystems are macroscopic and involve multiple organisms, while atoms are microscopic and do not involve living organisms.
A synonym for community of organisms is an ecological community. It refers to the interacting group of species that coexist in a specific habitat.
"Free oxygen" refers to oxygen that is not bound to other elements or molecules. It typically refers to molecular oxygen (O2) that is available in the atmosphere for respiration by living organisms.
Biogenic refers to something that is produced or created through biological processes or by living organisms. It is commonly used in the context of substances or materials that are derived from living organisms or natural biological sources.
The antonym for abiotic is biotic. Biotic refers to living organisms, while abiotic refers to non-living factors in an ecosystem.
The term "saccharide" refers to carbohydrates, which are organic molecules made up of carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen. Carbohydrates are a primary source of energy for living organisms and include sugars, starches, and cellulose.
Life refers to the existence of living organisms, while lifestyle refers to the way in which a person or group lives. Life encompasses all aspects of living organisms, including biological processes, while lifestyle refers to choices and habits that characterize a person's way of living.
The term that refers to living things is "organisms." Organisms are made up of one or more cells, can grow and reproduce, and typically have functional traits like metabolism and the ability to respond to stimuli.
Chemoheterotrophic by ingestion refers to organisms that obtain energy by ingesting organic molecules produced by other organisms and breaking them down through chemical reactions. These organisms rely on consuming other living or dead organisms to obtain nutrients and energy for their survival and growth. Examples include animals, fungi, and some protists.
Biosynthetic refers to the process by which living organisms, such as cells and microbes, create complex molecules and materials using biological pathways. This can involve the conversion of simpler molecules into more complex ones through enzymatic reactions.
The levels of organization in living things are: cells, tissues, organs, organ systems, and organisms. Cells are the basic unit of life, tissues are groups of cells working together, organs are groups of tissues working together, organ systems are groups of organs working together, and organisms are complete living things.
No, H2O is not an enzyme. H2O refers to water (chemical formula for water). Enzymes are biological molecules that act as catalysts to speed up chemical reactions in living organisms.
Biota refers to all living organisms, including plants, animals, fungi, and microorganisms, in a particular region or environment. It encompasses the entire range of living organisms present in a specific ecosystem.
Macro biology refers to the study of large-scale biological processes, such as ecosystems, populations, and communities, as opposed to the study of individual organisms or molecules. It focuses on understanding how different organisms interact with each other and their environment to maintain balance and biodiversity.
