  • Andreas Vesalius
    One of the first physicians to accurately record and illustrate human anatomy based on his findings from autopsies and dissections, which led to improved understanding of the human body and enhanced surgery techniques.
    Because of that, he is now considered as the Father of Modern Anatomy.
  • Marcello Malpighi
    He studied the embryo of a chick wherein he discovered the aortic arches, neural folds and somites with the help of Harvey's discovery. His findings became a strong argument that an embryo is pre-formed in the egg after fertilization
  • Robert Hooke
    Discovered the cell, which is the basic unit of life. This made a huge contribution in microbiology when he published a book entitled "Micrographia" that includes sketches of different natural things under the microscope.
  • William Harvey
    He was a physician who first recognized the full circulation of blood in a human body, and the nature of the heartbeat by providing sound experiments and arguments
  • Atom
    Smallest unit of matter
  • Homeostasis
    Steady state of an organism
  • Evolution
    Process by which organism change overtime, to adapt to its environment thus help survive and reproduce "natural selection"
  • Molecule
    This can be formed when two or more atoms of the same element react with one another
  • Meiosis
    Process can only happen o gametes "sex cell"
  • Element
    Substance that cannot be broken down by other substances
  • Mitosis
    Process can only happen in somatic cells
  • The Scientific Method
    1. Observation and Identification of the Problem
    2. Formulation of Hypothesis
    3. Experimentation or Testing the Hypothesis
    4. Analysis and Interpretation of Data and Results
    5. Generalization or Formulation of Conclusion
  • Hypothesis
    A suggested explanation for an event, which can be tested
  • Scientific Theory
    A generally accepted, thoroughly tested and confirmed explanation for a set of observations or phenomena
  • A hypothesis can be disproven, or eliminated, but it can never be proven
  • Photosynthesis
    Organisms capture energy from the sun to build carbohydrates

    • Carbohydrates
    • Lipids
    • Protein
    • Nucleic Acids
  • Lipids
    Hydrophobic or insoluble in water
  • Crossing over happens in Prophase 1
  • Phospholipids are the major constituent of plasma membrane
  • Meiosis 1 consist of 2 daughter cell
  • The principal component of hair, nails and skin is keratin
  • Photosynthesis happens in the chlorophyll
  • Hemoglobin
    A type of globular protein that is responsible for the transportation of oxygen in the blood
  • Aerobic respiration requires oxygen
  • Dextrose
    Contains glucose
  • Blood cell shrivels
    Hypertonic
  • Lactose
    Combination of glucose and galactose
  • Some large molecules have a hard time passing through Plasma membrane
  • Chemical bonding
    Interaction involving atoms of elements combining with one another
