17. What are the characteristics of life?  Get in a group with people around you and try to brain storm as some ways to characterize living things (to differentiate them from non-living)

18. 7 Characteristics of Life  Life is ORGANIZED (cell organization)  Life responds to STIMULI (responsiveness)  Living things maintain HOMEOSTASIS  Living things have a METABOLISM  Living things GROW and DEVELOP  Living things REPRODUCE (using DNA, passing on genes)  Living things EVOLVE

26.  B  Life responds to STIMULI Examples: https://www.youtube.com/  C  Organisms maintain HOMEOSTASIS This is the maintenance of stable internal conditions EX:  Temperature, levels of water, nutrient uptake

27.  D  Energy Use or METABOLISM This is defined as processes that take in and transform energy from the environment Examples:  E  GROWTH and DEVELOPMENT Life grows and then changes (matures)  F  REPRODUCTION Passing of genes to offspring Sexual –  DNA from two organisms Asexual –  Organism produces exact copy of itself

28.  G  Life Changes over time (Evolution) Organisms evolve because of traits / adaptations which made them more successful at surviving and reproducting Adaptation –  Trait that improves an organisms chance of survival http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=faRlFsYmkeY (Homer Evolution)

29. 9/11 ATB  What are adaptations?  Today: Finish the chapter Get your study guide for the test Friday  Review for the test / work on study guide Tuesday  TEST! (bring a pencil!)

31. Characteristics of life review:  What does it mean if an organism is maintain it’s homeostasis?  What are two types of reproduction? _____________________ and __________________  What is it called when a population changes over time?  Give an example of an adaptation that makes humans be successful  What are the two main drives of all organisms  What is metabolism?  Give an example of a stimuli that you respond to.  Give an example of a stimuli that any may have to respond to.  Does an organism have to move to be considered alive?

32. Book Assignment  ASSIGNMENT – Section 1.3 Assessment  Page 25 #1-3

33.  Domain Bacteria  Domain Archea  Domain Eukarya -- No Nucleus, unicellular, prokaryotic Nucleus, mostly multicellular, eukaryotic (you)

34.  Bacteria – single celled – few organelles (prokaryotic)  Archea – single celled – few organelles – “extromophiles” (live in harsh environments)  Protists* –simple organization (usually single celled) - eukaryotic Examples – amoeba, algae etc.)

35. Kingdoms of Life  Plants - eukaryotic, mostly multicellular  Fungi - eukaryotic, mostly multicellular  Animals - eukaryotic, mostly multicellular

36. The Big Ideas in Biology  What do these mean?  Cellular Basis of Life  Living things are made of cells (single or multicellular)  Information and Heredity Living things are based off information in the genetic code This code is found in your DNA  Matter and Energy Living things require matter that provide energy and the nutrients needed to survive

37. The Big Ideas in Biology  What do these mean?  Growth, Development and Reproduction All living things must reproduce, grow and develop  Homeostasis Living things control their internal environment  Evolution Living things change  Structure and Function Living things have specific body parts that provide specific functions (eyes, legs, etc) 

38. The Big Ideas in Biology  What do these mean?  Unity and Diversity of Life Living things are very different, but at the molecule level the same (proteins, lipids, nucleic acids, carbohydrates)  Interdependence in Nature Biosphere – living planet Organisms are linked to biotic and abiotic factors  Science as a way of knowing. Use of scientific method to explain observations

39. 9/12 ATB  What is metabolism?  Today: Test Review Work on your study guide Test Tuesday – Bring a pencil.

44. 9/16  No ATB  Today: CDT Make ups??? Test! Get out your study guides to turn in Need a pencil! Choose the best answer and put it on the scantron

45.  QUIZ BONUS: What does anatomy study?

46. The End

48. Scientific Method == Review  What do we use science for? Helps explain the world around us  How does this work? Usually starts with a question… …Why do things fall? How do plants grow? Why do leaves change color in the fall? What do barnacles eat?  This usually leads to a prediction and your hypothesis (sometimes in the “if-then” format) IF stuff falls then it is because the atmosphere is pushing down on them  Hypothesis - Proposed explanation for a phenomenon

49. Scientific Method (con’t)  Next, you want to test your hypothesis  Designing your Experiment Control Group–  setup that stays the same in the experiment Experimental Group –  setup that is changed in the experiment Independent Variable –  factor that you are testing Dependant Variable –  or responding variable (changes because of the independent variable)

51.  Biosphere – planet that sustains life  Ecosystem – communities of living organisms and their non- living environment Biotic = livingabiotic = non-living  Evolution – changing of a population over time

52.  Natural Selection – traits that are beneficial are more likely to be passed to offspring - “survival of the fittest”  Adaptations – Traits that improve organisms ability to survive and reproduce  Fitness – An organisms contribution to genes to the next generation

53.  Grey mice… …have better camouflage… Meaning they get eaten less… Meaning they pass on their grey genes to the next generation… Which means a higher fitness

54.  Describe how natural selection works.

56.  Create your own hypothesis explaining how giraffes evolved long necks, assuming their ancestors were shorter. What evolutionary pressure caused the longer necks? (Why did it happen?)  Giraffe fight!!!  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C7HCIGFdBt8
