Chapter 1: Human Body Mr. Capodagli
AGENDA • September 8th, 2011 • Q1W1 • AIM: Define the qualifiers of life • What is it to be alive? • Biology basics • Acquire colored pencils, a 1” binder, and two dividers
Requirements of Life • Boundaries - organisms are composed of cells because they require a barrier from environmental changes • Responsiveness – organisms react to stimulus in their environment • Movement – organisms are mobile to acquire food, escape danger, and reproduce • Metabolism – organisms have chemical processes to assimilate nutrients and use energy
Requirements of Life • Organization – organisms have distinctly different structures in their bodies • Reproduction – organisms transmit their genes • Growth – organisms continue to make new cells and adapt to their environment
Requirements of Life • Survival needs of the human living system… • Nutrients – H2O, O2, C6H12O6, etc. • Temperature – 98.6° F (36.8° C) • Atmospheric Pressure – there has to be enough gravity and molecules for us to breath air
Requirements of Life • Make a grid of 8 rows with the 7 qualifiers of life • Make 6 columns for these contenders… • Fire • Zombie • Automobile • Cell phone • Internet • Check the boxes for the requirements the contenders
