1. 1-1 What Is Science? Copyright Pearson Prentice Hall

2. What Science Is and Is Not What is the goal of science? Copyright Pearson Prentice Hall

3. What Science Is and Is Not The goal of science is to: investigate and understand the natural world. explain events in the natural world. use those explanations to make useful predictions. Copyright Pearson Prentice Hall

4. What Science Is and Is Not Science is an organized way of using evidence to learn about the natural world. Copyright Pearson Prentice Hall

5. Thinking Like a Scientist Scientific thinking begins with observation. Observation is the process of gathering information about events or processes in a careful, orderly way. Copyright Pearson Prentice Hall

6. Thinking Like a Scientist The information gathered from observations is called data. Quantitative data Qualitative data Copyright Pearson Prentice Hall

7. Thinking Like a Scientist Scientists use data to make inferences. An inference is a logical interpretation based on prior knowledge or experience. Copyright Pearson Prentice Hall

8. Explaining and Interpreting Evidence A hypothesis is a proposed scientific explanation for a set of observations. A hypothesis may be ruled out or confirmed. Copyright Pearson Prentice Hall

9. Explaining and Interpreting Evidence Hypotheses are tested by performing controlled experiments or by gathering new data. Copyright Pearson Prentice Hall

10. Explaining and Interpreting Evidence Researchers often work in teams to analyze, review, and critique each other’s data and hypotheses. Copyright Pearson Prentice Hall

11. Science as a Way of Knowing Science is an ongoing process that involves: – asking questions – observing – making inferences – testing hypotheses Copyright Pearson Prentice Hall

12. How a Theory Develops How does a scientific theory develop? Copyright Pearson Prentice Hall

13. How a Theory Develops As evidence from numerous investigations builds up, a hypothesis may become so well supported that scientists consider it a theory. In science, the word theory applies to a well-tested explanation that unifies a broad range of observations. Copyright Pearson Prentice Hall

14. Major Theories in Biology  Germ Theory  Evolutionary Theory  Cell Theory  Gene Theory

15. Science as a Way of Knowing Scientific understanding is always changing. Good scientists are skeptics who question both existing ideas and new hypotheses. Copyright Pearson Prentice Hall

16. Science and Human Values An understanding of science and the scientific approach is essential to making intelligent decisions. Copyright Pearson Prentice Hall

17. Science and Human Values Decisions involve many factors besides scientific information, including: the society in which we live economic considerations laws moral principles Citizens decide what to do when they vote. Copyright Pearson Prentice Hall

18. Pseudo science looks like science but it is Not testable/falsifiable/refutable Relies on anecdotes, not experimental data Does not change in face of new evidence Uri Geller Magic water

24. Designing an Experiment How do scientists test hypotheses? A hypothesis should be tested by an experiment in which only one variable is changed at a time. Copyright Pearson Prentice Hall

25. Designing an Experiment The process of testing a hypothesis includes: – Asking a question – Forming a hypothesis – Setting up a controlled experiment – Recording and analyzing results – Drawing a conclusion Copyright Pearson Prentice Hall

26. Designing an Experiment Setting Up a Controlled Experiment Manipulated/Independent variable Responding/Dependent variable Copyright Pearson Prentice Hall

27. When graphing, always title graph “Dependent variable” as a function of “Independent variable” If a scientist wants to examine how light levels affect tree growth, which is the dependent variable? Which is the independent variable? Which is X? Which is Y? Y as a function of X Copyright Pearson Prentice Hall

28. Designing an Experiment Asking a Question Many years ago, people wanted to know how living things came into existence. They asked: How do organisms come into being? Copyright Pearson Prentice Hall

29. Designing an Experiment Forming a Hypothesis One early hypothesis was spontaneous generation. For example, most people thought that maggots spontaneously appeared on meat. In 1668, Redi proposed a different hypothesis: that maggots came from eggs that flies laid on meat. Copyright Pearson Prentice Hall

30. Designing an Experiment Copyright Pearson Prentice Hall Redi’s Experiment Controlled Variables: jars, type of meat, Location, temperature, time Covered jars Uncovered jars

31. Designing an Experiment Copyright Pearson Prentice Hall Redi’s Experiment Manipulated Variable: Gauze covering that keeps flies away from meat Responding Variable: whether maggots appear Maggots appear. Several days pass. No maggots appear.

32. Designing an Experiment Drawing a Conclusion Scientists use the data from an experiment to evaluate a hypothesis and draw a valid conclusion. Copyright Pearson Prentice Hall

47. 19–2 Viruses Copyright Pearson Prentice Hall

48. What Is a Virus? Viruses are particles of nucleic acid, protein, and in some cases, lipids. Viruses can reproduce only by infecting living cells. Copyright Pearson Prentice Hall

49. What Is a Virus? Copyright Pearson Prentice Hall Head Tail sheath DNA T4 Bacteriophage Tobacco Mosaic Virus Influenza Virus RNA Membrane envelope Tail fiber RNA Capsid proteins Capsid Surface proteins

50. What Is a Virus? A typical virus is composed of a core of DNA or RNA surrounded by a protein coat. A capsid is the virus’s protein coat. Copyright Pearson Prentice Hall

51. Viral Infection Once the virus is inside the host cell, two different processes may occur. – Some viruses replicate immediately, killing the host cell. – Others replicate, but do not kill the host cell immediately. Copyright Pearson Prentice Hall

52. Viral Infection Copyright Pearson Prentice Hall Bacteriophage injects DNA into bacterium Bacteriophage DNA forms a circle Lytic Infection Lysogenic Infection

53. Viral Infection Lytic Infection In a lytic infection, a virus enters a cell, makes copies of itself, and causes the cell to burst. Copyright Pearson Prentice Hall

54. Viral Infection Copyright Pearson Prentice Hall

55. Viral Infection Copyright Pearson Prentice Hall

56. Viral Infection Copyright Pearson Prentice Hall

57. Viral Infection Lysogenic Infection Other viruses cause lysogenic infections in which a host cell makes copies of the virus indefinitely. In a lysogenic infection, a virus integrates its DNA into the DNA of the host cell, and the viral genetic information replicates along with the host cell's DNA. Copyright Pearson Prentice Hall

60. Viral Infection Copyright Pearson Prentice Hall

61. Viral Infection Copyright Pearson Prentice Hall

63. Retroviruses Retroviruses contain RNA as their genetic information. When retroviruses infect cells, they make a DNA copy of their RNA. This DNA is inserted into the DNA of the host cell. Copyright Pearson Prentice Hall

64. Viruses that contain RNA as their genetic information are known as prions. oncoviruses. retroviruses. bacteriophage. Copyright Pearson Prentice Hall

65. The first type of virus to be studied was the bacteriophage. tobacco mosaic virus. influenza virus. AIDS virus. Copyright Pearson Prentice Hall

66. Which of the following statements about viruses is true? Viruses appear similar to bacteria when studied with a light microscope. Viruses display the essential characteristics of living things. Viruses can reproduce independently if they contain DNA. Viruses cannot reproduce unless they infect a living cell. Copyright Pearson Prentice Hall

67. A virus integrates its DNA into the DNA of the host cell but remains inactive for a while in a lytic infection. a lysogenic infection. neither a lytic nor a lysogenic infection. retroviral infection. Copyright Pearson Prentice Hall

68. Retroviruses are considered unique because they have RNA in their capsid and not DNA. they have DNA in their capsid and not RNA. after infection of a host cell, their RNA makes DNA. after infection of a host cell, their DNA makes RNA. Copyright Pearson Prentice Hall
