1 What is Biology?

2 Biology- natural science concerned with the study of life and living organisms – Fundamental concepts of modern biology 1. Cells are basic unit of life

3 2. New species and inherited traits are the product of evolutionary change

4 3. Genes are the basic unit of heredity

5 4. Organisms regulate internal environments to maintain a stable and constant condition Homeostasis

6 5. Living organisms consume and transform energy

7 Characteristics of Life 1.Homeostasis: regulation of the internal environment to maintain a constant state 2.Organization: being structurally composed of one or more cells

8 3. Metabolism: transformation of energy by converting chemicals and energy into cellular components (anabolism) and decomposing organic matter (Catabolism)

9 4. Growth and development: growing organism increases in size in all of its parts, rather than simply accumulating matter

10 5. Adaptation: Ability to change over time in response to the environment

11 6. Response to Stimuli

12 7. Reproduction: The ability to produce new individual organisms
