It’s ALIVE!!! Or, is it? An Unger Power Point
All organisms have 6 characteristics • Cells • Response to stimulus • Reproduction • DNA/”Life Molecule” • Use Σ • Grow & develop
Cell • Subunit of life • Membrane-bound • 2 types • Prokaryote • Eukaryote
Response to Stimulus • React to change • Maintain homeostatis
Reproduction • Ability to produce offspring • Asexual Reproduction • ONE parent • Sexual Reproduction • TWO parents
DNA/”Life Molecule” • DeoxyriboNucleic Acid • Passes on hereditary information
Use Σ • Organisms take in and use energy • Metabolism • Sum of all chemical reactions • YOU are walking, talking, living, breathing CHEMICAL REACTIONS!
Chemicals of life • Carbohydrates • Sugar/Σ • Lipids • Fat/storage for Σ • Proteins • Some Σ/ made of amino acids • Nucleic Acids • DNA & RNA
One sentence to rule them all. • Nucleic acids provide the information to make proteins, which are then used to break down carbohydrates and lipids to release energy.
Grow & Develop • Grow • Get bigger • Develop • Δ form
Necessities of life • Food • Make it (producer/autotroph) • Get it (consumer/heterotroph) • OTHER (decomposer) • Water • Allows metabolism to take place • Air • CO2 and O2 • Shelter • Rest & security
Proof of LIFE • Back in the day…spontaneous generation • 2 experiments prove LIFE from LIFE
Redi…an Italian doc (1600’s) Fly babies only came from flies!!!!
Pasteur…a Frenchman (1800’s) The air also let in bacteria. LIFE from LIFE!!!
Classification • HOW we arrange/group organisms based on similarities • EIGHT levels • Domain • Kingdom • Phylum • Class • Order • Family • Genus • Species • Does King Philip Come Over For Green Soup?
EUKARYOTE DOMAIN!!! What is missing?
Taxonomy • THE Science of identifying & labeling/naming organisms • Carolus Linnaeus (Swedish botanist 1750s) • Binomial Nomenclature • 2 name system • Genus & Species • FIRST letter of Genus is CAPITAL • first letter of species is lowercase • BOTH are ALWAYS italicized or underlined
Branching Diagrams/Cladogram What is missing? • Arrows point TO living organism • Characteristic/trait ALONG branch
Classification of ALL Life! Unicellular, Prokaryotic, Auto & Heterotrophs Unicellular, Prokaryotic, Auto & Hetero Multi, Eukaryote, AUTO Multi, Eukaryote, HETERO Multicellular, Eukaryote, Decomposer
Dichotomous Keys • A tool that helps its user identify natural objects. • Dichotomous means "divided into two parts.” • Each step has TWO choices
