Biology • The Scientific Study of Life
Characteristics of Life • An organism must have all seven of these in order to be considered as living. • 1. Order • 2. Reproduction • 3. Growth and development • 4. Energy Processing • 5. Respond to the Environment • 6. Regulation • 7. Evolutionary adaptation Characteristics of Life youtube 5:24
ORDERLiving things are made of cells • These units help to organize their materials.
Nerve cell Examples of Cells Egg and sperm Red blood cell Fat cell Cheek cell
2. REPRODUCTION • Why is this so important? • How do plants reproduce? • How do animals reproduce? Egg and sperm pollen Euglena separate
Sexual Reproduction Two parents unite to form a new organism Asexual Reproduction A single parent divides itself two produce offspring Types of Reproduction Asexual/Sexual Reproduction Animation
3. GROWTH AND DEVELOPMENTLiving things are based on a universal genetic code (DNA). • All living things have the same bases (A, T, C, G) in their DNA-they are just in different order
Each organism has a pattern of growth and development characteristic of its species. • Tadpole + Flatfish metamorphosis • Crecropia Moth Life Cycle Video
4. ENERGY PROCESSING • Organisms take in energy and transform it to perform all of life’s activities. -metabolism (burn food) -photosynthesis (make food) Cellular Respiration-Pearson (4:29)
5. RESPOND TO THE ENVIRONMENT • All organisms respond to environmental stimuli. • YouTube - Venus flytrap eating a spider • Bozeman Response to Environment
Stimulus-Response • A stimulus is a signal to which an organism responds.
6. REGULATIONLiving Things Maintain a Stable Internal Environment • The environment may change, but regulatory mechanisms maintain an organisms’ internal environments within limits that sustain life. Homeostasis-ability of an organism to maintain stability Sunbathing lemur on a cool morning
7. EVOLUTIONARY ADAPTATIONTaken as a group, living things change over time. Adaptations evolve to allow greater reproductive success • Homer Simpson Evolution
Biosphere Ecosystem Community Population Organism Organ Systems Organs Tissues Cells Organelle Molecules PUT IN ORDER LARGEST TO SMALLEST

HONORS BIOLOGY VOCABULARY • Inference = logical interpretation of the situation (may involve experiences and judgments) • Observation= using your senses (and tools) to gather information
What’s the Difference? SCIENCE TECHNOLOGY Applied scientific knowledge for a specific purpose Medicine Computers Aeronautics Bioengineering • An approach on understanding the world as it is • Gravity • Biology • Physics • geology
Inference or Observation? • 1. The person in the front of the room is the teacher. • 2. There are 25 students in the room. • 3. The crickets like to eat lettuce. • 4. 8/12 crickets were found at the lettuce in a 2 minute period.
ADD “Emergent Properties” • What does it mean that “the whole is greater than the sum of its parts?” • How is a person different than just its blood or its muscles? • How is population of people in Hudson different than just one person (you)?
EXAMPLES BEE HIVE Bicycle Parts Whole Bicycle • One bee does limited jobs, but together they get the hive and honey made. You can get a lot farther with it put together Drone Queen Worker
1.3 Cells are the structural and functional units of life • A cell is the lowest level that can have all the properties of life. • UNICELLULAR– an organism that consists of only one cell EX: bacteria • MULTICELLULAR – an organisms that consists of more than one cell
Prokaryotic Cells – have no nucleus bound in a membrane EX: bacteria • -smaller • First to evolve (3.7 bya) • Eukaryotic Cells– have a nucleus bound in a membrane • EX: nerve cell, plant cell, paramecium • -larger cells • -evolved around 2.1 bya • How did the evolution of Life begin? (4:16)
HYPOTHESIS THEORY LAW • Prediction Several Proven made from tests showed true every observations idea to be time (no true exception) Ball will go Ball, rock, Law of down off cliff + wheel go Gravity off cliff
Darwin’s Ideas of Evolution • Natural Selection – Survival of the fittest • Descent with Modification– changes from a common ancestor
Carolus Linnaeus’ Ideas • Devised a system of binomial nomenclature (Genus and species) • A dichotomous key is used to identify organisms; a character divides in two each time
1.5 Evolution, the core theme of Biology • The unity of life is based on DNA and a common genetic code • ALL CELLS HAVE DNA • ALL CELLS HAVE FOUR BASES THAT MAKE UP DNA (A,T, C, G) • DNA is the molecule that makes up genes (units of inheritance) that group to make chromosomes
DNA is the blueprint for making proteins (pigments, enzymes, membranes, hormones…)
