Unit 2 – Cells & Systems Topic – 1 Living Things & Structures
One of the 1st people to explore the internal workings of the body was Galen (129-216AD) • How did he do this? • He was the doctor to Gladiators • Gladiator = fight to the death • Survivors often seriously wounded • He could see internal workings in a live person! A little background!
So what did he observe? • Thought nerves were hollow tubes • Flowing with “life force” • Thought the liver was the bodies heater • Also very important because it had lots of tubes A little background!
About 1.75 million diff living things on earth • Microscopic Massive • Being living however we all share similar characteristics • All parts working together = living! • So what makes us “living” …? We are all alike!
- Made up of cells • Need energy • - Grow & Develop • - Respond to Environment • - Reproduce • - Adaptation to Environment • Key part is … • All living things have all 6while non-living things can have some but not all We are all alike!
Write these down … Hair Fish Bicycle Carrot Air Baseball TV Moss Mushroom Seeds Living Non- Living Mini Activity Seems easy but is a point of controversy!
The basic unit of life! • Can perform all the processes life depends on! • All organisms made up of 1 cell minimum • All cells come from other cells Cells!
Are there cells in non-living things? • What about a cork? Cell! Cont …
Everything you do requires energy! • What did you do today that required energy? • Energy: the ability to make things move or change! • Plants vs. Animals = energy different ways! • Plants = • Animals • Nutrients: substances that provide the energy and materials that organisms need to grow, develop and reproduce Sun to make own food Environment around them Energy!
Cells have many different chemical processes • Some use energy & some create • It needs to be balanced in order for an organism to stay alive • Metabolism: the sum (+) of all the diff. processes that happen in an organism • Is a high metabolism good or bad? Energy! Cont …
Let’s say I see you sleeping in class … • *cough* LANDON! *cough* • As his teacher I’m sad • Then I’m mad • I decide to hit Landon with my car after school • I wait patiently … Responding to Environment!
Stimulus: anything that causes a response in an organism! Reaction to Environment! Cont…
Response Stimulus Reaction to Environment! Cont…
Growth is not exclusively size … it can also be structure • Seed growing? • So when we hit a certain point do we stop growing? • Nope! Living things are constantly in a state of repair. Growth & Development
Some species also under physical/structural changes… Growth & Development
All living things come from living things Reproduction • Interesting Fact! • Reproduction is not necessary for an organism to survive but for the survival of their specific organism/species! Reproduction
As you learned in Grade 7 science … • Adaptations allow organisms to live, and survive, in their respective environments • Examples…?? Adaptations

Smallest known functioning units of life • Rarely work alone = team! • Tissue: Cells with similar structure and function • Organs: Tissues that work together for a common purpose A flow-chart representation! Cells!
Cells Tissues Organs Cell Flow-Chart
Organ Systems: Group of organs that work together for a common purpose in order to keep you alive Organ Systems
All living things have to do certain things to keep themselves alive • Gathering Food • Exchanging Gases • Movement • Living things have developed different body parts (structures) to do them • Each structure is used for a specific function (carry out task) Structure & Function
Example… • Spiracles • Holes on the sides of certain insects abdomens • Adjust open/close for air intake Structure & Function
Some variations are widely different: gills, wings, long arms, giant tongues, etc … • Some are subtle in the same species, specifically seen a lot on island! • Most famous islands for this? • Galapagos Island Structure & Function
While on the Voyage of the Beagle they encountered the Galapagos Island • The main expedition was to survey (hydrographic survey) areas as Darwin was a geologist and loved to theorize! • Came to Galapagos and discovered unique species • Theorized his famous Darwin Theory of Evolution & Survival of the Fittest & Natural Selection Charles Darwin
Cells … here we come! Cells!!
