The Study of Life Chapter Biology

KEY CONCEPT Biology is the study of all forms of life.

Earth is home to an incredible diversity of life. The biosphere includes all living things and all the places they are found. biosphere = everywhere life exists

Earth is home to an incredible diversity of life. Every part of the biosphere is connected with every other part. The biosphere includes many environments. –land environments

The biosphere includes many environments. –saltwater and freshwater environments –portions of the atmosphere Tidepool Estuary

–Biodiversity generally increases from the poles to the equator. –Biodiversity is greater in areas with consistently warm temperatures. Biodiversity is the variety of life. Biodiversity is greater closer to the equator.

–Members of a species can interbreed to reproduce. –There are about 2 million different living species have been identified. A species is one particular type of living thing.

All organisms share certain characteristics. Biology is the scientific study of all forms of life.

An organism is any individual living thing. –All are made of one or more cells.

–All need energy for metabolism. An organism is any individual living thing –All are made of one or more cells. –All respond to their environment. –All have DNA that they pass on to offspring.

Unifying Themes of Biology Connect concepts from many fields Chemistry Anatomy—structure & function Genetics--DNA Evolution--adaptations Cellular Biology Systems—population, community, niche

All levels of life have systems of related parts. A system is an organized group of interacting parts. –A cell is a system of chemicals and processes. –A body system includes organs that interact. –An ecosystem includes living and nonliving things that interact.

Biologists study many different systems.

Structure and function are related in biology Structure determines function. –Proteins with different structures perform different functions. –Heart muscle cells have a different structure and function than stomach muscle cells. –Different species have different anatomical structures with different functions.

Organisms must maintain homeostasis to survive in diverse environments. Homeostasis is the maintenance of constant internal conditions.

–Homeostasis is usually maintained through negative feedback. –Negative feedback systems return a condition to its normal (set) point. Homeostasis is the maintenance of constant internal conditions.

Behaviors and adaptations can help maintain homeostasis. Polar Bears have black skin and hollow hair shafts---both help to adapt it to the cold.

Evolution explains the unity & diversity of life. Evolution is the change in living things over time. –The genetic makeup of a population of a species changes. –Evolution can occur through natural selection of adaptations. –Adaptations are beneficial inherited traits that are passed to future generations.

Evolution accounts for both the diversity and the unity of life.

Biology 1.3—Scientific Thinking

Biologists use experiments to test hypotheses. Observational studies allow scientists to describe a phenomenon.

Experiments allow scientists to determine what causes a phenomenon.

–Independent variables are manipulated. –Constants are conditions that are kept the same. Experimental studies allow scientists to determine what causes a phenomenon. –Dependent variables are observed and measured.

A theory explains a wide range of observations. Theories explain a wide range of observations and experimental results. A theory is supported by a wide range of scientific evidence. Theories can change based on new evidence.
