Growth Grow occurs as the result of cell division and cell enlargement Cell division is the formation of two cells from a preexisting cell New cells enlarge as they mature When a cell grows to a size where its surface area isn’t big enough for its volume, the cell divides

Development The process by which an adult organism arise is called development Repeated cell divisions and cell differentiation

Cells Require Food & Energy

Matter, Energy and Organization Living things are highly organized Require a constant supply of energy to maintain their orderly state

Energy ALL energy comes from the SUN (directly or indirectly) Photosynthesis is the process by which some organisms capture the energy from the sun (solar) and transform it into energy (chemical) that can be used by living things

Food Requirements Autotrophs can make their own food Photoautotrophs use sunlight to make food (photosynthesis) Chemoautotrophs use chemicals such as iron & sulfur as their energy

Autotrophs Organisms that make their own food are called autotrophs Phototrophs – use solar energy (photosynthesis) to get energy Convert H2O and CO2 into sugar and O2 Chemotrophs – use different chemical processes to get energy

Food Requirements Heterotrophs can NOT make their own food They must consume other organisms Herbivores eat plants Carnivores eat meat Omnivores eat plants & animals

Heterotrophs Organisms that must take in food to meet their energy needs are called heterotrophs Consume autotrophs (herbivores), other heterotrophs (carnivores) or both (omnivores) for their energy needs Complex chemicals are broken down and reassembled into chemicals and structures needed by organisms

Metabolism Sum of all the chemical reactions in an organism All require energy Sunlight is the ultimate energy for life on Earth

Metabolism Cellular Respiration Cells releasing the chemical energy stored in foods 6O2 + C6H12O6 6CO2 + 6H2O

Energy Use Use energy in a process called metabolism Sum of all chemical processes Require energy to maintain their molecular and cellular organization, grow and reproduce

Organisms Respond to Stimuli Organisms Respond to stimuli (Temperature, Water, Food Supplies, etc.) In Order To Survive & Reproduce

Responsiveness Respond to stimuli in the external environment Detect and respond to changes in light, heat, sound and chemical and mechanical contact Coordinates it’s responses

Homeostasis Keeping The Internal Environment (Homeostasis) Of The Cell or Organism Within The Ranges Required For Life Stable internal conditions of pH, temperature, water balance, etc.

Stability and Homeostasis Organisms must Maintain very stable internal conditions - HOMEOSTASIS Temperature, water content, chemical content, etc. must be maintained

Living Things Evolve Groups Of Organisms (Not Individuals) Change Over Time In Order To Survive Within Changing Environments. Fossil records show changes in groups of organisms

Evolve Ability to adapt to their environment through the process of evolution Favorable characteristics are selected for and passed on to offspring Called adaptations Driven by natural selection or “survival of the fittest”

Evolution Populations of organisms change (evolve) over generations (time) Explains how many different kinds of organisms came into existence SPECIES Explains how modern organisms are related to past organisms

Explains why organisms look and behave the way they do Provides a basis for exploring the relationships among different groups of organisms

Natural Selection Natural selection is the driving force in evolution Organisms that have certain favorable traits are better able to successfully reproduce than organisms that lack these traits

Natural Selection Survival of organisms with favorable traits cause a gradual change in populations over many generations Also Called “Survival of the Fittest”

Interdependence of Organisms Interaction of organisms with one another and with their environment ECOLOGY Insects depend and flowers DEPEND on each other for food & pollination COEVOLUTION

All organisms need substances such as nutrients, water, and gases from the environment The stability of the environment depends on the healthy functioning of organisms in that environment
