Hetero and Autotrophs (Individual)
Metabolic rate how much energy an organism uses, affecting energy needs.
Energy Flow in Populations: Individual energy needs impact group energy consumption.
Energy Loss Between Levels (Community): Only about 10% of energy is passed up each trophic level; the rest is lost as heat.
Cells break down glucose with oxygen to release energy, CO₂, and water.
ATP Production: Energy from respiration is stored in ATP molecules for cellular functions
Energy Loss as Heat: Not all energy is stored; some is lost as heat during metabolic processes.

Oxidative Phospohlation
This process is broken down into two parts, the Electron Transport Chain(ETC) and Chemiosmosis.
Chemiosmosis
Once many H+ exits into the intramitochondrial space through the ETC, ATP synthase allows H+ to go back into the matrix in through facilitated diffusion in attempt to even out on both sides. This takes ADP turning it into ATP.
Electron Transport Chain
This process includes:
Complex I
Complex II
Complex III
Complex IV
Complex Q
Cyc
NADH gives an electron to complex one turning it into NAD+. FADH2 gives electron to Complex 2, turning into FAD. They both give their electrons to Q, from Q to complex III, Complex III to Cyc, then to complex IV and given to oxygen where it makes water(H2O). Complexes I, III, and IV are proton pump which pump out H+ into the intramitochondrial space when the electrons are being passed around.
Doesn't Require Oxygen
Alcohol Fermentation
When there is no O2, pyruvate forms acetaldehyde and is reduced to ethanol where CO2 is released.
This reduced electrons from NADH allowing glycolysis to continue.
Lactic Fermentation
When oxygen is not present, pyruvate is reduced and forms lactate and recycled back into NAD+ allowing glycolysis to continue. In Lactic Acid fermentation CO2 is not formed.
Each phospholipid has a specific phase transition temperature.
Above this temperature, the lipid is a fluid and it is in its liquid crystalline phase.
Below this temperature, the lipid is rigid and in a gel phase.

Chargaff's Rule (1950)
Purpose: To analyze the composition of DNA and determine its structural characteristics.
Observations:
The amount of adenine (A) equals the amount of thymine (T), and the amount of cytosine (C) equals the amount of guanine (G): A = T and G = C A = T and G = C
The ratio of purines (A and G) to pyrimidines (T and C) is constant: (A + G) = (T + C) (A + G) = (T + C)
Base composition varies between species, suggesting a role in genetic diversity.
Hershey and Chase Experiment (1952)
Purpose: To confirm that DNA, not protein, is the genetic material.
Method: Used bacteriophages (viruses that infect bacteria) and labeled their components with radioactive isotopes:
³²P: Labeled DNA (phosphorus is present in DNA).
³⁵S: Labeled protein (sulfur is present in proteins but not in DNA).
The phages were allowed to infect bacteria.
After infection: The mixture was agitated in a blender to separate the phage protein coat from bacterial cells. The solution was centrifuged to isolate the bacterial cells.
Results: Radioactive ³²P was found inside the bacterial cells, indicating DNA had entered. Radioactive ³⁵S remained outside in the phage coats, indicating protein did not enter.
Conclusion: DNA is the genetic material responsible for heredity.
Griffith Experiment (1928)
Purpose: To demonstrate the phenomenon of transformation in bacteria.
Method:
Used two strains of Streptococcus pneumoniae:
S strain: Smooth, virulent (caused pneumonia).
R strain: Rough, non-virulent. Griffith injected mice with: Live R strain (non-virulent): Mice lived.
Live S strain (virulent): Mice died.
Heat-killed S strain: Mice lived.
Heat-killed S strain + live R strain: Mice died, and live S strain bacteria were recovered from their blood.
Results: The non-virulent R strain was transformed into the virulent S strain by a "transforming principle" from the heat-killed S cells.
Conclusion: This experiment suggested the existence of a genetic material responsible for transformation, later identified as DNA
Meselson and Stahl Experiment (1958)
Purpose: To determine the mechanism of DNA replication (conservative, semiconservative, or dispersive).
Method: Nitrogen isotopes (¹⁵N, heavy, and ¹⁴N, light) were used to label DNA. Bacteria were grown in ¹⁵N medium to incorporate the heavy isotope into their DNA. They were then shifted to ¹⁴N medium, and DNA was isolated after one and two rounds of replication. The DNA was analyzed using density gradient centrifugation.
Results: First generation (after one replication cycle): All DNA had an intermediate density, ruling out conservative replication. Second generation (after two replication cycles): Half the DNA had intermediate density, and half had light density, confirming semiconservative replication.
Conclusion: DNA replication follows the semiconservative model, where each daughter molecule contains one original strand and one newly synthesized strand.
