Presentation Transcript

  1. Study of Biology

  2. What is Biology? • Biologyis the study of all living things • Living things are called organisms • Organisms include bacteria, protists, fungi, plants, & animals

  3. All Living Things Share Common Characteristics • Cell - Basic Unit is the • Reproduce & inheritance • DNA - All Based On Universal Genetic Code • Grow & Develop

  4. Common Characteristics • Energy, matter & organization - Obtain & Use Materials • Respond To Their Environment • Homeostasis - Maintain A Stable Internal Environment • Evolve AS A GROUP, Living Things Change Over Time

  5. Characteristics of Organisms

  6. All Organisms are made of Cells

  7. Cell Structure and Function • Cell basic unit of life • All organisms are made of and develop from cells • Some composed of only a single cell (unicellular) which is usuallyidentical to parent

  8. Facts About Cells • Cells are the smallest living unit of an organism • All cells contain living material called cytoplasm • All cells are surrounded by a cell membrane that controls what enters & leaves the cell

  9. More Cell Facts • Cells are complex & highly organized • Cells have parts called organelles that do different jobs e.g. Chloroplasts in plants make sugars

  10. More Cell Facts • The simplest cells are called Prokaryotes • These cells DO NOT have a nucleus or membrane-bound organelles • Bacteria are examples

  11. More Cell Facts • More complex cells are called Eukaryotes • These cells DO have a nucleus and membrane-bound organelles • Plants, animals, protists, & fungi are examples

  12. Organisms are Grouped by their Number of Cells • Unicellular Organisms • Living Organism Made Up Of One Cell • Multicellular Organisms • Living Organism Made Up Of Many, Specialized Cells

  13. Organisms Reproduce to Pass on their Genetic Traits

  14. Sexual Reproduction Involves 2 parents Egg fertilized by sperm to make a ZYGOTE Offspring DIFFERENT from parents Two Types of Reproduction

  15. Asexual Reproduction Involves a single organism or cell Cell divides Offspring IDENTICAL to parent Two Types of Reproduction

  16. Cells Have a Genetic Code

  17. Genetic Code • DNA (deoxyribose nucleic acid) carries the genetic code for all organisms • All organisms contain DNA • DNA codes for the proteins that make up cells & do all the work

  18. Organisms Grow & Develop

  19. Growth & Development • Organisms grow by producing MORE CELLS & by cell ENLARGEMENT • Organisms develop as they mature into an adult organism

  20. Cells Require Food & Energy

  21. Autotrophs can make their own food Photoautotrophs use sunlight to make food (photosynthesis) Chemoautotrophs use chemicals such as iron & sulfur as their energy Food Requirements

  22. Food Requirements • Heterotrophs can NOT make their own food • They must consume other organisms • Herbivores eat plants • Carnivores eat meat • Omnivores eat plants & animals

  23. Metabolism • Sum of all the chemical reactions in an organism • All require energy • Sunlight is the ultimate energy for life on Earth

  24. Metabolism • Cellular Respiration • Cells releasing the chemical energy stored in foods 6O2 + C6H12O6 6CO2 + 6H2O

  25. Organisms Respond to Stimuli • Organisms Respond to stimuli (Temperature, Water, Food Supplies, etc.) In Order To Survive & Reproduce

  26. Homeostasis • Keeping The Internal Environment (Homeostasis) Of The Cell or Organism Within The Ranges Required For Life • Stable internal conditions of pH, temperature, water balance, etc.

  27. Living Things Evolve • Groups Of Organisms (Not Individuals) Change Over Time In Order To Survive Within Changing Environments. • Fossil records show changes in groups of organisms

  28. Life is Organized on Several Levels

  29. Levels • Atoms • Molecules • Organelles • Cells – life starts here • Tissues • Organs • System • Organism

  30. Levels • Population • Community • Ecosystem • Biosphere
