Cycles of Life: EXPLORING BIOLOGY Module 1: Biological Concepts Segment 1: The Unity and Diversity of Life Objectives: 1. List and describe major characteristics of living things that distinguish them from non-living matter. 2. Describe the general pattern of energy flow through the earth?s life forms, and explain how their interactions help cycle the earth?s resources. 3. Explain what is meant by the term unity, and identify possible causes of similarities between earth?s organisms. 4. Explain what is meant by the term diversity, and identify possible causes for the great diversity of life forms on earth. Video Synopsis: Beginning with the features that distinguish living matter from non-living matter, this segment provides

Cellular Transportation Josey Nelson Introduction Helps in maintaining homeostasis Two types: Passive Transportation No energy required Two main types High to low concentration Active Transportation Uses ATP for transportation Low to high concentration Diffusion The movement of particles from high concentration to low concentration Purpose: to reach equilibrium Osmosis is diffusion of water 3 major types Diffusion of ions Diffusion of molecules Osmosis (diffusion of water) Facilitated Diffusion Uses proteins to transport ions and molecules High to low concentration Requires Carrier Proteins No ATP (energy) Types of Solutions Hypotonic: a solution that contains higher water concentrations in solution

An Analysis of Bacterial DNA Extracted from Water near Farms Previous research has suggested that pharmaceutical levels on farms have increased over time. Due to this, the pharmaceuticals can pollute the soil and water in the area surrounding the farm. Other research has showed that many pathogens have re-emerged on many farms. A gap exists in the literature, however, as to how these pathogens have re-emerged. The purpose of this study is to compare the bacteria found in various water sources on farms to the ?common? form of the bacteria. This could possibly allow new medication and vaccines to be formed quicker based on the strains found on various farms. Procedures: Collect bacterial samples from various sources Runoff Rivers Manure Troughs Culture the bacteria on agar

BIOLOGY 31.2 THE CENTRAL NERVOUS SYSTEM ? pp. 901-905 The Central Nervous System?Key Ideas Each of the major areas of the brain?the cerebrum, the cerebellum, the brain stem?are responsible for processing and relaying information. The spinal cord is the main communication link between the brain and the rest of the body. The brain reacts to excessive dopamine levels by reducing the number of receptors for the neurotransmitter. As a result, normal activities no longer produce the sensations of pleasure they once did. VOCABULARY: Reflex: quick, automatic response to a stimulus. Cerebrum: part of the brain responsible for voluntary activities of the body; ?thinking? region of the brain.

ECOSYSTEMS: COMPONENTS, ENERGY FLOW & MATTER CYCLING CHAPTER 4 ECOLOGY Study of the relationships between organisms and their environment How organisms interact with their nonliving environment such as sunlight, temperature, moisture, nutrients, etc. KEY WORK IS: INTERACT - Connections in Nature What is an organism? What make up organisms? Organisms are either: EUCARYOTIC - SURROUNDED BY A MEMBRANE HAVE A DISTINCT NUCLEUS HAVE INTERNAL ORGANELLES All organisms except bacteria. PROCARYOTIC - SURROUNDED BY A MEMBRANE NO DISTINCT NUCLEUS NO INTERNAL PARTS SURROUNDED BY MEMBRANES Bacteria What is a SPECIES? How do species differ? What is the difference between sexual and asexual reproduction? Number of species on earth is not known 5 million to 100 million maybe

*Functionalism formed as a reaction to the theories of the structuralist school of thought and was heavily influenced by the work of William James. Major functionalist thinkers included John Dewey and Harvey Carr. Instead of focusing on the mental processes themselves, functionalist thinkers were instead interested in the role that these processes play. *Behaviorism Behaviorism became a dominant school of thought during the 1950s. It was based upon the work of thinkers such as: John B. Watson Ivan Pavlov B. F. Skinner
