Biology is a Science • Observation vs Inference • Experimental Design • Independent variable • Dependent variable • Controlled variable • Graphing rules • Use math to analyze data • Use tools to measure (in metrics!)
Characteristics of Life • Made of one or more cells • Display organization • Grow and develop • Reproduce • Respond to stimulus • Require energy • Maintain homeostasis • Adaptations evolve over time
Viruses • Not considered living things • Pathogens that can mutate to resist vaccines • Acellular • Require a host cell to reproduce • Ex. HIV, Influenza, Smallpox
Review of Matter • Elements vs Compounds • Atoms vs Molecules • Subatomic particles • Atomic number • Atomic mass • Ion • Isotopes • Bonds • Ionic • Covalent • Hydrogen
Chemical Reactions • Reactants • Products
Enzymes • Catalysts in living things • Specific to a particular substrate • Reusable • Affected by temperature and pH (denatured)
Water • Necessary for life • Polar covalent bond: polar molecule • Properties: • Universal solvent • Density of ice • Adhesion • Cohesion • Holds onto a considerable amount of heat
pH • Water molecules naturally dissociate (fall apart) • Acids: more H+ than OH-, pH 1-6 • Bases: more OH- than H+ pH 8-12
Organic Compounds • All living things are made of organic compounds. • Contain the element Carbon
Why carbon? • Can make 4 covalent bonds • Can bond to itself and a variety of other elements • Can make a variety of shapes • Can make chains of varying lengths
Other important elements in living things • Hydrogen • Oxygen • Phosphorus • Nitrogen • Sulfur
Macromolecules • Large molecules: built of subunits (monmers) • Four classes: Carbohydrates, Proteins, Lipids, Nucleic Acids
Built by dehydration synthesis (condensation) • Broken down by hydrolysis
Carbohydrates • Monomer- monosaccharide • Function- energy source, storage, and structure • Tests: glucose-Benedicts starch- Iodine fructose • Ex. Cellulose, glycogen, starch
Lipids • Made of fatty acids and glycerol • HYDROPHOBIC • Function- energy storage, insulation, hormones, and water proofing • Tests: brown paper test • Examples: fats, waxes and steroids Lipid vs. water
Nucleic Acids • Monomer- nucleotide • Function- carry genetic information • Ex. DNA and RNA
Proteins • Monomer- amino acids • Function- building and repairing cells, communication, enzymes, transport, and regulation • Tests- Biurets • Examples: enzymes, hemoglobin
Carbon Cycle • Photosynthesis • Cellular Respiration • Decomposition • Combustion • Autotrophs • Heterotrophs
Obtain energy from the environment Photosynthesis or chemosynthesis “Producers” Obtain energy from other living things “Consumers” Autotroph vs. Heterotroph
Cell Theory • All living things are composed of one or more cells • Cells are the basic unit of structure and organization of all living organisms • Cells arise only from previously existing cells, with cells passing copies of their genetic material on to their daughter cells
Prokaryotes Simple, no membrane bound organelles Bacteria only One circular chromosome Includes: chromosome, ribosomes, cytoplasm, and plasma membrane SMALL Eukaryotes Membrane bound organelles Plants and Animals True nucleus containing chromosomes Cells
Nucleus • “Control Center” • Contains chromosomes
“Powerhouse” of the cell Produces energy in the form of ATP Site of Aerobic respiration MitochondriaSingular: Mitochondrion
Site of photosynthesis Plant cells ONLY Contains the pigment chlorophyll Chloroplast
Vacuole • Storage of excess materials: water, waste, nutrients • Plant cells usually contain one large vacuole
Ribosomes • Proteins are synthesized • Found in both prokaryotes and eukaryotes
Surrounds the cell Regulates what enters/leaves the cell Helps maintain homeostasis Made of phospholipids with embedded proteins (lipid bilayer, fluid mosaic model) Plasma Membraneaka: Cell Membrane
Cell Wall • Plant and fungi and bacterial cells ONLY • Surrounds cell and provides support and protection. • Made of cellulose in plants (chitin in fungi, peptidoglycan in bacteria)
Extracellular features: movement through watery environment Cilia: hairs Flagella: tails
Eukaryotes Plant Animal • Cell wall • Chloroplast • Large central vacuole
Cell Organization Cell Tissue Organ Organ System Individual organism
cells develop to perform different functions Form directly related to function Regulated by genes: all have same genes, only certain ones are activated Cell Specialization
Chemical Signals (hormones) can be sent from one cell to another Receptor proteins on the plasma membrane receive the signal Cell to Cell Communication
Cells have needs • Need nutrients and oxygen • Need to remove wastes • Cell transport • Substances must cross membrane selective permeability • Active vs Passive
Diffusion • Form of passive transport (NO ENERGY NEEDED) across a membrane • Solutes move from high concentration to low concentration
Osmosis • Diffusion of water (also passive transport)
Facilitated Diffusion • Also passive transport • Molecules move from high to low concentration • Require a channel protein
Active Transport • Particles moving against the concentration gradient which REQUIRES ENERGY (ATP) • Low concentration to high concentration • Requires transport protein
Endocytosis • Exocytosis
comparison Passive transport Active transport Molecules move from low to high Move against concentration gradient Maintains concentration differences Requires energy • Molecules move from high to low • Move WITH concentration gradient • Continues until dynamic equilibrium is reached • No energy required
Energy storing molecule Can be used for quick energy by the cell Energy is stored in the phosphate bonds ATP
Water and Carbon Dioxide used to produce Glucose and Oxygen H2O+CO2C6H12O6+O2 Occurs in the chloroplast Photosynthesis
Used to release energy (ATP) for cellular use C6H12O6+O2H2O+CO2 Occurs in the mitochondria Aerobic Respiration
Anaerobic Respirationaka Fermentation • Does not require Oxygen • also used to release energy, but not as efficient as aerobic respiration (less ATP) • Products include CO2 and lactic acid or alcohol • Two Types: Alcoholic Fermentation and Lactic Acid Fermentation
DNA / RNA • Carry genetic information • Made of a chain of nucleotides • Nucleotides contain a sugar, phosphate, and a nitrogen base
DNA Double stranded “Double Helix” Four base pairs: ATGC Sugar is Deoxyribose Found in nucleus RNA Single stranded Four base pairs: AUCG Sugar is Ribose DNA / RNA
