• Cosmozoic Theory suggests that a meteorite was the source of the original building block for life on Earth.
• Spontaneous Generation Theory proposes that life arose spontaneously from non-living matter.
• Divine Creation Theory posits that life was created by a divine being.

• Aristotle was the first to show an overall understanding of systematic taxonomy and was heavily devoted to studies on reproduction, heredity, and descent.
• The Linnaean hierarchy, from broadest to most specific, is: Kingdom, phylum, class, order, family, genus, species.
• Epinephrine is not an amino acid.

• Mycology is a branch of biology that studies fungi.
• Gastrulation is a process in embryo development that results into a multilayered structure giving rise to three distinct germ layers.
• Plasmodesma are intercellular junctions present in plants that allow cell signaling between adjacent cells.
• Many eukaryotes have a single circular chromosome while prokaryotes contain numerous linear chromosomes.
• Physiology is a branch of biology that studies the function of parts of living organisms.
• Blastula is a hollow sphere of cells.
• Fragmentation is a type of asexual reproduction derived from a broken off piece of the individual and associated with regeneration.
• Avian animals are determined to be female if they possess the ZW chromosome pairing.
• Animalcules are archaic term for single-celled organisms and animals.
• Nucleolus is the site of ribosomal subunits production and its assembly in eukaryotes.
• During interphase, cellular components are actively replicating and dividing in preparation of the cell’s split.
