2. THE SCIENCE OF BIOLOGY

3. 2 CIDEB 1.1 What is science?  Science is an organized way of using evidence to learn about the natural world  A word that refers to the body of knowledge that scientists have built up after years of using this process.

4. 3 CIDEB 1.1 What is science?  Scientific thinking begins with  Observation process of gathering information about events or processes in a careful orderly way.  Data  Information gathered from observation

5. 4 CIDEB 1.1 What is science?  Inference  Logical interpretation based on prior knowledge or experience

6. 5 CIDEB 1.1 What is science?  After observations  Hypothesis  A proposed scientific explanation for a set of observations

7. 6 CIDEB 1.1 What is science?  Science is an ongoing process, involves:  Asking questions  Observing  Making inferences  Testing hypothesis  It is always changing

13. 12 CIDEB 1.2 How scientists work  Steps for designing an experiment:  Ask a question  Form a hypothesis  Set up a controlled experiment  Record and analyze results  Draw a conclusion

14. 13 CIDEB 1.2 How scientists work  Steps for designing an experiment:  Ask a question How do new living things come into being?  Form a hypothesis Life could arise from nonliving matter  Set up a controlled experiment (Redi´s experiment)  Record and analyze results Keep records  Draw a conclusion Evaluate the hypothesis

17. 16 CIDEB 1.2 How scientists work  Anton van Leeuwenhoek  Tiny animals  John Needham  Spontaneous generation could occur under the right conditions  Leeuwenhoek

18. 17 CIDEB HYPOTHESIS: Flies produce maggots. OBSERVATIONS: Flies land on meat that is left uncovered. Later, maggots appear on the meat. PROCEDURE Controlled Variables: jars, type of meat, location, temperature, time Manipulated Variables: gauze covering that keeps flies away from meat Uncovered jarsCovered jars Several days pass Maggots appearNo maggots appear Responding Variable: whether maggots appear CONCLUSION: Maggots form only when flies come in contact with meat. Spontaneous generation of maggots did not occur. Section 1-2 Figure 1-8 Redi’s Experiment on Spontaneous Generation Redi´s Experiment

19. 18 CIDEB 1.2 How scientists work  Spallanzani´s test of Redi´s findings.  Supported the hypothesis that new organisms are produced only by existing organisms

20. 19 CIDEB Gravy is boiled.Flask is open. Gravy is teeming with microorganisms. Gravy is boiled. Flask is sealed. Gravy is free of microorganisms. Section 1-2 Figure 1-10 Spallanzani’s Experiment Spallanzani´s experiment

21. 20 CIDEB 1.2 How scientists work  Pasteur´s test of Spontaneous generation

22. 21 CIDEB 1.2 How scientists work  Pasteur´s test of Spontaneous generation Broth is boiled. Broth is free of microorganisms for a year. Broth is teeming with microorganisms. Curved neck is removed.

23. 22 CIDEB 1.2 How scientists work  Theory:  A well-tested explanation that unifies a broad range of observations.  Scientists make accurate predictions about new situations.

24. 23 CIDEB 1.3 Studying life  Biology seeks to understand the living world.

25. 24 CIDEB 1.3 Studying life  Characteristics of living things:  Are made up of units called cells  Reproduce  Are based on a universal genetic code  Grow and develop  Obtain and use materials and energy  Respond to their environment  Maintain a stable internal environment  Change over time

26. 25 CIDEB CharacteristicExamples Living things are made up of units called cells. Living things reproduce. Living things are based on a universal genetic code. Living things grow and develop. Living things obtain and use materials and energy. Living things respond to their environment. Living things maintain a stable internal environment. Taken as a group, living things change over time. Many microorganisms consist of only a single cell. Animals and trees are multicellular. Maple trees reproduce sexually. A hydra can reproduce asexually by budding. Flies produce flies. Dogs produce dogs. Seeds from maple trees produce maple trees. Flies begin life as eggs, then become maggots, and then become adult flies. Plants obtain their energy from sunlight. Animals obtain their energy from the food they eat. Leaves and stems of plants grow toward light. Despite changes in the temperature of the environment, a robin maintains a constant body temperature. Plants that live in the desert survive because they have become adapted to the conditions of the desert. Section 1-3 Characteristics of Living Things Characteristics of living things
