Inquiring About the World of Life Biology is the science of life Traditionally divided into three divisions: - Botany - Zoology (NOT Zoo-ology!) - Microbiology 3 Modern Biology Many diverse subdivisions, such as: - Wildlife Biology - Cellular Biology - Anatomy & Physiology - Ecology - Genetics - Evolutionary Biology - Molecular Biology - Developmental Biology - Immunology - Behavioral Ecology - Marine Biology 4 - asking questions and seeking science-based answers The central activity of biology: scientific inquiry Biologists ask questions such as: how a single cell develops into an organism - how the human mind works - how living things interact in communities Biology is therefore a quest ? an ongoing inquiry about the nature of life

Prokaryotes- An organism of the kingdom Monera (or Prokaryotae), comprising the bacteria and cyanobacteria; characterized by the absence of a distinct, membrane-bound nucleus or membrane-bound organelles, and by DNA that is not organized into chromosomes. Spontaneous generation- mistaken idea that life can arise from nonliving materials Biogenesis- Idea that living organisms come only from other living organisms. Protocell- Large, ordered structure, enclosed by a membrane, that carries out some life activities, such as growth and division. Archaebacteria- Chemosynthetic prokaryotes that live in harsh environments, such as deep-sea vents and hot springs The Origin of Life Origins: The Early Ideas Spontaneous generation The idea that nonliving material can produce life

Chapter 1 Inquiring About the World of Life: Evolution: fundamental organizing principle of bio Biology: scientific study of life Answer questions about our everyday lives Evolution is core of bio New properties exist at each level of biology Emergent properties: arise at each level that do not exist at the preceding level Systems Biology: goal is to model the dynamic behavior of bio systems Organisms interact with environment Structure and Function Correlate at all levels Cells are basic units of structure and function Eukaryotic cell: subdivided into internal membranes Prokaryotic cell: simpler and smaller than eukaryotic cell Life based on information in form of DNA Genes: units that transmit inheritance info Genome: ?library of genetic instructions an organism inherits?

Unit I: The Concept of Life Biology : The Study of Life How is Life Defined? Key Idea: All living things carry out eight essential life functions. Collectively, the eight life functions are known as metabolism. Nutrition: the process in which food (organic molecules) is absorbed (ingestion) and used or broken down (digestion). Transport: the process in which material is moved from one place to another (circulated) within organisms. Active Transport: the type of transport that moves material from a low to high concentration while using energy.

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

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

Introduction: Exploring Life Chapter 1 Definition of Biology The study of life Characteristics of Living Organisms Living organisms are organized. Atom: the smallest unit of matter that still retains the properties of an element Molecule: two or more chemically bound elements Characteristics of Living Organisms Living organisms are organized Cell: the basic living unit of structure and function Eukaryotic cell Possesses a membrane-bound nucleus and membrane-bound organelles Ex. protists, fungi, plants, and animals Prokaryotic cell Does not possess a membrane-bound nucleus or membrane-bound organelles Ex. bacteria Characteristics of Living Organisms Living organisms are organized Tissue: a collection of like cells

Chapter 26 Rooted Tree- has an ancestor common to all organisms on the tree Kingdom, phylum, class, order, family, genus, species Node- spot where a common ancestor exists of branches coming off of it Phylocode method of classification- naming based on similarities Homoplasy- a trait (genetic, morphological etc.) that is shared by two or more taxa because of convergent evolution i.e. 4 chambered heart in mammals and birds Clade- a group consisting of an ancestor and all its descendants, a single "branch" Cladistics- grouped together based on whether or not they have one or more shared unique characteristics that come from the group's last common ancestor and are not present in more distant ancestors
