Unifying Themes in Biology Evolution~ biology’s core theme;
differential reproductive success (sex!) Emergent Properties~ hierarchy of life The Cell~ all organism’s basic structure Heritable Information~ DNA Structure & Function~ form and function Environmental Interaction~ organisms are
open systems Regulation~ feedback mechanisms Unity & Diversity~ universal genetic code Scientific Inquiry~ observation; testing;
repeatability Science, Technology & Society~ functions
of our world

Feedback Regulation: NegativeAccumulation of an
end product of a process slows that process
Example: sugar breakdown generates ATP; excess ATP inhibits an enzyme near the beginning of the pathway

Feedback Regulation: Positive
An end product speeds up its production
Example: blood clotting in response to injury
