Characteristics of life, and definition of life: Life is characterized by (1) organization, (2) acquisition of materials and energy, (3) reproduction, (4) responses to stimuli, (5) homeostasis, (6) growth and development and (7) the capacity to adapt. Classification system to group organisms (DKPCOFGS): Systematics: Domain, kingdom, phylum, class, order, family, genus, species. Human classification: Domain Euakarya Kingdom Animalia Phylum Chordata (vertebrae) Class Mammalia Order Primates Family Hominidae Genus Homo Species Homo sapiens

Motivation: need to desire that energizes and directs behavior. Feelings or ideas that cause us to act towards a goal Theories of Motivations 1) Instincts & Evolutionary Psychology -> fixed behavior pattern; complex, enhanced behavior patterns of a species 2) Drives & Incentives Drive Reduction Theory -> behavior motivated by biological needs, such as hunger, sex, sleep and thirst. The need activates a drive which motivates to eat, drink, sleep, etc. Overall, the body seeks to maintain homeostasis. Drive: aroused, motivated state. Overimpluse to act in a way to satisfy psychological need Secondary Drive: learned drives (i.e money) Incentive Theory: extrinsic reward ->incentive is an environment stimulus that motivates behavior. We are drawn to incentives because of learning.

Michael Treacy 3/3/2010 Pd. 3 Ozone Hole @ TD 1. What is the Ozone and why do we need it in our atmosphere to have a healthier planet? The Ozone is the Gas O3. This gas is located in the Stratosphere and absorbs UV Rays. We need the ozone in our atmosphere because it absorbs 98% of the UV Rays. Without the ozone to filter all these UV Rays many animals would have medical / health problems. 2. Describe how the ozone protects us. The ozone protects us by filtering out and absorbing most of the UV Rays before they reach the earth. Most of the Rays are biologically harmful and know to damage tissues and cells. 3. How is a chlorine atom harmful to the ozone in the stratosphere?

Biology Project: Imagine you are a doctor and have just diagnosed a patient with a serious disease. The patient will likely have many questions, but may not think of them right away, and it may not be possible to spend the time required during their appointment. Your task is to design, write, and produce a pamphlet or booklet that you could send home with the patient that would answer the questions about the disease that might occur to them after they leave your office.

An Overview of Eucaryotic Cell Structure Eucaryotic cells have membrane-delimited nuclei In addition to the nucleus, eucaryotic cells have other membrane-bound organelles that perform specific functions within the cells; this allows simultaneous independent control The large membrane surface area of eucaryotic cells allows greater respiratory and photosynthetic activity The Cytoplasmic Matrix, Microfilaments, Intermediate Filaments, and Microtubules The cytoplasmic matrix, although superficially featureless, provides the complex environment required for many cellular activities Microfilaments (4 to 7 nm) may be scattered throughout the matrix or organized into networks and parallel arrays; they play a major role in cell motion and cell shape changes
