2
The Characteristics of Living Things Great Complexity & Organization Composed of Cells Reproduction & Development Mechanism for Inheritance Metabolism & Homeostasis Interaction with the Environment Evolution (Adaptation)
3
–Living things are made of the same materials as everything else in the universe Atoms are assembled into molecules Living things are more organized, more complex –Living things require energy to carry out life processes Great Complexity and Organization

36
The sum total of the chemical processes that occur in living organisms, resulting in growth, production of energy, elimination of waste material, etc. Anabolism- build up of complex molecules Catabolism- break down of complex molecules Metabolism
37
Cellular Respiration C 6 H 12 O 6 + 6O 2 6H 2 O + 6CO 2 + energy
38
Photosynthesis 6H 2 O + 6CO 2 + light C 6 H 12 O 6 + 6O 2
39
Autotrophs Organisms that make their own food (like plants, some protists, and some bacteria) Plants capture energy from the sun, use water and carbon dioxide to make sugars and starches Photosynthesis Chemosynthesis
40
Heterotrophs Organisms that take in food to meet their energy needs Animals must consume autotrophs (plants), and other heterotrophs to meet their energy needs
41
Homeostasis Relatively stable internal environment
42
All organisms must maintain a constant internal environment to function properly Temperature pH Ions Water Hormones Homeostasis
43
Negative Feedback vs Positive Feedback
44
Body Temperature Regulation Negative Feedback
45
Blood Sugar Levels Negative Feedback
46
Positive Feedback

48
–Living things interact with each other and with the environment –Ecology – the study of these interactions Hawaiian Monk seals eat fish Humans eat fish What if something happened to the fish? Interaction with the environment

51
Evolution Change in the genetic composition of a population through time
52
–Inherited change in the characteristics of organisms over time –Living things are slowly changing –Process of natural selection results in change over time –Organisms with favorable genes are more likely to survive, reproduce, and pass on those favorable genes Evolution
53
Mechanisms Contributing to Evolutionary Change Production of heritable variations Natural Selection Chance
54
–Transmission of characteristics from parent to offspring –Instructions from parent to offspring are passed on in the form of genes Heredity
55
Heritable variations Blood type Dwarfism Beak Depth Banding pattern Eye color
56
Adaptations The structural, functional, and behavioral features that contribute to the success of a species.
57
Natural Selection Peppered Moths: study in England 1800’s More light than dark moths Industrial pollution turned trees dark Population shifted to mostly dark moths
58
Natural Selection
59
INQUIRY 1.In the equation for photosynthesis and respiration which is the organic molecule? 2.List 3 mechanisms for genetic change. 3.Why did the population of dark moths proliferate? 4.Define homeostasis. 5.Why is positive feedback not always beneficial for the body? 6.Which process produces genetic change: asexual reproduction or sexual reproduction? 7.Compare plant versus animal cell.
