What is Biology? "the study of life" Biology literally means "the study of life". Biology is such a broad field, covering the minute workings of chemical machines inside our cells, to broad scale concepts of ecosystems and global climate change.
3 Branches of Biology Anatomy - the study of form and function, in plants, animals, and other organisms, or specifically in humans Biochemistry - the study of the chemical reactions required for life to exist and function, usually a focus on the cellular level Botany - the study of plantsBotany Cell biology - the study of the cell as a complete unit, and the molecular and chemical interactions that occur within a living cell. Ecology - the study of the interactions of living organisms with one another and with the non-living elements of their environment.Ecology Embryology - the study of the development of embryo (from fecondation to birth). See also topobiology.Embryology Entomology - the study of insectsEntomology
Physiology - the study of the functioning of living organisms and the organs and parts of living organisms Genetics - the study of genes and heredity. Histology - the study of cells and tissues, a microscopic branch of anatomy. Microbiology - the study of microscopic organisms (microorganisms) and their interactions with other living things Molecular Biology - the study of biology and biological functions at the molecular level, some cross over with biochemistry Virology - the study of viruses and some other virus-like agents Zoology - the study of animals, including classification, physiology, development, and behavior.Zoology

© 2013 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. All rights reserved. The Cell Theory : (91)Cell Theory is one of the foundations of modern biology. It stats that : All living things are composed of one or more cells; The chemical reactions of living cells take place within cells; All cells originate from pre-existing cells; and Cells contain hereditary information, which is passed from one generation to another
The discovery of cells followed from the invention of the microscope by Robert Hooke, and its refinement by Anton Leewenhoek. Cell theory was articulated in the mid-1800s by Schleiden, Schwann and Virchow. – All organisms are composed or one or more cell. – The cell is the structural unit of life. – Cells arise from pre-existing cells by division.

( تـفـتـقـد ) The walls of Archaea lack ( تـفـتـقـد ) peptidoglycan. B) The bacterial cell wall
It is a tool for identifying تعريف specific bacteria, based on differences in their cell walls. A)- Gram-positive ( Gram +ve ) bacteria: A)- Gram-positive ( Gram +ve ) bacteria: violet- تـُصبغ بنفسجيا Their cell walls have large amounts كمية كبيرة of peptidoglycans that react with Gram’s stain (appear violet- stained تـُصبغ بنفسجيا ). Fig. 27.5a Page 529 The Gram’s stain: صبغة جرام
B)- Gram-negative B)- Gram-negative ( Gram -ve ) bacteria: تظهر الصبغة their cell walls have no or small amount of peptidoglycan. So, do not react or very weakly react with Gram’s stain (do not appear stained لا تظهر الصبغة ) Fig. 27.5b Page 529 The Gram’s stain: صبغة جرام
Gram Staining of Bacteria Gram +ve bacteria: have Large amount of peptidoglycan that stained violet ( non-pathogenic غير ممرضة ). Gram +ve bacteria: have Large amount of peptidoglycan that stained violet ( non-pathogenic غير ممرضة ). Gram –ve bacteria: Have small amount or no peptidoglycan (no staining) ( pathogenic ممرضة ). Gram –ve bacteria: Have small amount or no peptidoglycan (no staining) ( pathogenic ممرضة ). Gram-negative species are pathogenic ( ممرضة ) more threatening ( أكثر خطورة ) than gram-positive species. Gram-negative species are pathogenic ( ممرضة ) more threatening ( أكثر خطورة ) than gram-positive species. Gram-negative bacteria are commonly more resistant ( أكثر ممانعة ) than gram-positive species to antibiotics للمضادات الحياتية. Gram-negative bacteria are commonly more resistant ( أكثر ممانعة ) than gram-positive species to antibiotics للمضادات الحياتية.
Prokaryotes reproduce ( تـتـكاثر ) only asexually ( لا جنسيا ) by binary fission ( الإنقسـام الثـنائى البسيط ). A single cell produce a colony of offspring. Fig Page 531 Reproduction of Bacteria التكاثر فى البكتريا

Chemotrophs كيميائية التغذية Chemotrophs ( كيميائية التغذية ): Organisms that obtain energy from chemicals in their environment. Autotrophs ذاتية التغذية Autotrophs ( ذاتية التغذية ): Organisms that use CO 2 as a carbon source.

A major difference الفرق الأساسى between prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells is the location of chromosomes موضع الصبغيات. A major difference الفرق الأساسى between prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells is the location of chromosomes موضع الصبغيات. – In an eukaryotic cell, chromosomes are contained in a true nucleus ( النواة ). – In a prokaryotic cell, the DNA is concentrated in the nucleoid ( شـبه نواة ) without a membrane ( بدون غـشاء ) separating it from the rest of the cell. – In prokaryotic cell, DNA is a single strand ( أحادى الشريط ) or double strand ( ثنائى الشريط ) DNA. But in eukaryotic cell, DNA is double strand. 1). Prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells differ in size and complexity Differences Differences أوجه الاختلاف Page 112
Basic Properties of Cells Characteristics that distinguish prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells – Complexity: Prokaryotes are relatively simple; eukaryotes are more complex in structure and function. – Cytoplasm: Eukaryotes have membrane-bound organelles and complex cytoskeletal proteins. Both have ribosomes but they differ in size. – Cellular reproduction: Eukaryotes divide by mitosis; prokaryotes divide by simple fission. – Locomotion: Eukaryotes use both cytoplasmic movement, and cilia and flagella; prokaryotes have flagella, but they differ in both form and mechanism. – Genetic material: Packaging: Prokaryotes have a nucleoid region whereas eukaryotes have a membrane-bound nucleus. Amount: Eukaryotes have much more genetic material than prokaryotes. Form: Eukaryotes have many chromosomes made of both DNA and protein whereas prokaryotes have a single, circular DNA. © 2013 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. All rights reserved.

Pathways of cell differentiation Types of Eukaryotic Cells: Cell Specialization – Multicellular eukaryotes have different cell types for different functions. Differentiation occurs during embryonic development in other multicellular organisms. Numbers and arrangements of organelles relate to the function of the cell. Despite differentiation, cells have many features in common. Basic Properties of Cells (104) © 2013 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. All rights reserved.
Classifications of Tissues 1. Epithelium: lines and covers surfaces 2. Connective tissue: protect, support, and bind together 3. Muscular tissue: produces movement 4. Nervous tissue: receive stimuli and conduct impulses
Epithelium - Shapes: Squamous: flat,thin, scale-like cells Cuboidal: cells that have a basic cube shape. Typically the cell's height and width are about equal. Columnar: tall, rectangular or column shaped cells. Typically taller than they are wide.
Epithelium - Arrangements: Simple: Cells are found in a single layer attached to the basement membrane Stratified: Cells are found in 2 or more layers stacked atop each other Pseudostratified: a single layer of cells that appears to be multiple layers due to variance in height and location of the nuclei in the cells. Transitional: cells are rounded and can slide across one another to allow stretching
