  1. Strategies of Life Chapter 20 Great Idea: Living things use many different strategies to deal with the problems of acquiring and using matter and energy

  2. Chapter Outline • The Organization of Living Things • What is Life • Classifying Living Things • Survival: A New Look at the Life Around You • Strategies of Fungi • Strategies of Plants • Strategies of Animals

  3. The Organization of Living Things

  4. Ways of Thinking About Living Things • Levels • Biosphere • Ecosystem • Community • Population • Organism • Anatomy & physiology • Cellular • Molecular • All levels complement each other

  5. What Is Life?

  6. The Characteristics of Life • High degree of order and complexity • Part of larger systems of matter and energy • Life depends on chemical reactions in cells • Life requires liquid water • Organisms grow and develop • Regulate energy use • Share same genetic code, code is heritable • All living things are descended from a common ancestor

  7. Classifying Living Things

  8. Cataloging Life • Linnaean classification • Shared characteristics • Hierarchy • Kingdom • Phylum • Class • Order • Family • Genus • Species • Binomial nomenclature

  9. Classifying Life cont. • Kingdoms • Monera • Protista • Fungi • Plants • Animals

  10. Classifying Human Beings • Kingdom: Animals • Phylum: Chordates • Subphylum: vertebrates • Class: Mammals • Order: Primates • Family: Hominid • Genus: Homo • Species: sapien

  11. Implications of Linnaean Classification • Use of DNA • Similarity depends on time and change • Classification results from real events

  12. Survival: A New Look at the Life Around You

  13. Survival: A New Look at the Life Around You • Autotrophs • Heterotrophs • Dealing with complexity • Two basic tasks • Obtain and distribute molecules for energy • Reproduce

  14. Strategies of Fungi

  15. Strategies of Fungi • Growth • Filaments • Decomposers • Structure • Mass of filaments • Reproduction • Break filaments • Asexual reproduction • spores • Lichens • Two interdependent species

  16. Strategies of Plants

  17. The Simplest Plants • Phylum: Bryophytes • Structure • No roots • Photosynthetic • Reproduction • Sexual • Asexual

  18. Vascular Plants • Phylum: vascular plants • Structure • Roots, stems, leaves • Control water loss • Reproduction • Seedless • Gymnosperms • Angiosperms • Sexual and asexual

  19. Angiosperm

  20. Strategies of Animals

  21. Invertebrates • Invertebrates • No backbone • Most diverse animals • Arthropods • 70% of known animal species • Structure • exoskeleton

  22. Vertebrates • Organization • Ocean to terrestrial • Evolution • Earliest fish • Bony Fish • Amphibians • Reptiles • Birds • Mammals
