Lets play a game… • Am I alive? • How can you tell?
Characteristics of Life? • Organization • Response to stimuli • Homeostasis • metabolism • Growth and Development • Reproduction • Change through time
Organization • High degree of order between internal and external parts • Interactions with the living world • Examples?
Response to stimuli • Ability to respond to changing environment
Homeostasis • ability to maintain a stable internal condition. • No matter the changes in environment.
Metabolism • Use of energy to power life processes
Growth and Development • Growth? • increase in amount of living material • Development? • process ending in adulhood • Ie. Frog
Reproduction • Production of Offspring • Coded information is passed on to the offspring • Like Produces Like
Change through time • evolution
Science as a process • Scientific method • Organized approach to learn how the natural world works
Scientific method • Observation / question: • Hypothesis: tries to answer question; proposed explanation • Prediction: guesses what will happen • Experiment: tests hypothesis • Collect and analyze data • Supports or disputes hypothesis
Scientific theory • When a set of confirmed hypotheses is confirmed to be true many times • Examples?
Tools of the trade • Microscopes 1. Compound light microscope • Uses light through a specimen • Electron microscpes use a stream of electrons to visualize a specimen 2. Scanning (SEM) electron microscope • 3-D surface view 3. Transmission (TEM) electron microscope • 2-D internal view
SEM or TEM SEM TEM TEM SEM
SEM or TEM TEM SEM SEM TEM
The Metric System • System of measuremnt in science. • Based on multiples of ten = easy conversion
Ch 1 Vocab quiz next class • Biology • Compound light microscope • Electron microscope • Gene • Hypothesis • Metabolism • Metric system • Organization • Scientific method • Theory
Matter • Everything is made of matter (?) • Has mass and occupies space
Elements and atoms • Element: substances that cannot be broken down into simpler substances • Atoms: smallest particle of an element that retains the properties of that element
Atomic structure • Nucleus makes up most of mass of an atom • Consists of protons (positive) and neutrons (no charge) • Number of protons = atomic number • Number of protons + neutrons = mass number
Atomic structure • Electrons: negatively charged particles • Balance out with positive charge of protons • Very small mass • Move around the nucleus in orbitals
Isotopes • Atoms of same element have equal number of protons but not necessarily neutrons • Isotopes: atoms of the same element that have a different number of neutrons
Compounds • Made of atoms of two or more elements • H2O • CO2 • CH4
Covalent Bonds A Covalent Bond occurs when atoms share electrons
Ionic Bonds Oppositely charged atoms, attracted to each other Note: they do not share electrons Example: Sodium Chloride
Energy and Matter • Energy: ability to do work • Many types of energy • Electrical • Radiant (light) • Thermal (heat) • Chemical • mechanical
Chemical reactions • One or more substances change to produce one or more different substances • Reactants: on the left side of the equation
Chemical reactions • One or more substances change to produce one or more different substances • Products: on the right side of equation
