Themes of Biology
Evolution of life Diverse life forms are related
Transmission of information DNA, Chemical signaling
Flow of energy through living systems Energy constantly required to
maintain complex processes

Characteristics of Organisms
Cells – organisms are made of one or more cells Cell Theory:
All living organisms are composed of cells New cells arise from existing cells Cells are basic unit of structure and
function of living things Schleiden, Schwann, and Virchow

Characteristics of Organisms
Organisms grow and develop Biological growth - increase in the
size of cells or the number of cells Growth may be uniform or greater in
some parts than others Development - all the changes that
take place during an organism's life

Characteristics of Organisms
Metabolism - the sum of all the chemical activities of the organism Processes occur continuously in every living
organism Must be carefully regulated to maintain
homeostasis Homeostatic mechanisms are control
systems that maintain constant levels of cellular products in the organism
Example - regulation of glucose in the blood of complex animals

Heterotrophs – organism that obtains food by consuming other living organisms
Autotrophs – organism that makes its own food Photosynthesis Chemosynthesis

Characteristics of Organisms
Movement - basic property of cells Many varieties of movement
Extensions such as cilia (hairlike) and flagella (longer structures)
Animals move obviously (swim, crawl, run, fly) - have complex tissues for movement = muscles!
Even plants move toward the sun or trap insects

Characteristics of Organisms
Organisms respond to stimuli Stimuli that evoke a response in
organisms: Changes in light intensity, direction, or
color Changes in temperature, pressure, or
sound Changes in the chemical composition of
the surrounding soil, air, or water Plants respond to stimuli too!

Characteristics of Organisms
Reproduction Asexual - exact copy
of parent, ex. bacteria
Sexual - egg and sperm cells combine to form a fertilized egg, provides genetic variation
Can be internal or external fertilization

Characteristics of Organisms
Adaptations Adaptations are traits that enhance
an organism's ability to survive Every organism is a complex
collection of coordinated adaptations produced through evolutionary processes

Transmission of Information
Instructions are needed to carry out life processes
DNA - genetic material Watson and Crick, 1953 Makes up genes - the
hereditary units Used to specify
instructions for making every living organism
![Page 13: AP Biology Chapter 1 A View of Life. Biology - the study of life Constantly changing Increasing quality of life Drastically changing health care New discoveries.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062423/5697bf871a28abf838c8903d/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Transmission of Information
DNA contains the information to make all the proteins needed by an organism
Proteins determine the structure and function of cells and tissues
Cells also use proteins to communicate with one another Cell signaling *Learning to manipulate cell signaling may lead
to new discoveries in the medicine.

Chemical Transmission of Information
Hormones - molecules that function as chemical messengers that transmit information from one part of an organism to another Can signal cells to produce a protein
or other substance
![Page 15: AP Biology Chapter 1 A View of Life. Biology - the study of life Constantly changing Increasing quality of life Drastically changing health care New discoveries.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062423/5697bf871a28abf838c8903d/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Electrical Transmission of Information
Nervous Systems Electrical Impulses Neurotransmitters -
chemical compounds Ex. Transmit
message from eyes and ears to the brain

Biological Organization
Hierarchical At every level,
structure and function are coordinated
Solomon p.9
Chemical – atomsMolecule – atoms combineCell – atoms and molecules form cells (basic structure of living things)Tissue – cells working togetherOrgan – tissues organizedOrgan System – group of tissues and organsOrganism – organ systems working together
Smallest
Largest

Ecological Organization
Population – all the members of one species that live in the same geographic area at the same time
Community – the populations of organisms that inhabit a particular area and interact with one another Can be hundreds of different
organisms
![Page 18: AP Biology Chapter 1 A View of Life. Biology - the study of life Constantly changing Increasing quality of life Drastically changing health care New discoveries.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062423/5697bf871a28abf838c8903d/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Ecological Organization Ecosystem – a community together
with its nonliving environment Can vary greatly in size
Biosphere – all of Earth’s ecosystems together
Ecology – the study of how organisms relate to one another and to their environment
![Page 19: AP Biology Chapter 1 A View of Life. Biology - the study of life Constantly changing Increasing quality of life Drastically changing health care New discoveries.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062423/5697bf871a28abf838c8903d/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Evolutionary Relationships Systematics – studies evolutionary
relationships Taxonomy – the science of naming
and classifying organisms Binomial nomenclature – each
species is assigned a two-part name 1st part of name = genus 2nd part of name = specific epithet
![Page 20: AP Biology Chapter 1 A View of Life. Biology - the study of life Constantly changing Increasing quality of life Drastically changing health care New discoveries.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062423/5697bf871a28abf838c8903d/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Taxonomic Classification Remember: King Phillip Came Over For
Good Spaghetti Kingdom, Phylum, Class, Order, Family,
Genus, Specific epithet See page 11 (table 1-1)
3 domains: Archaea, Eubacteria, and Eukarya
6 kingdoms: Plant, Animal, Fungi, Protista Archaebacteria, Eubacteria
![Page 21: AP Biology Chapter 1 A View of Life. Biology - the study of life Constantly changing Increasing quality of life Drastically changing health care New discoveries.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062423/5697bf871a28abf838c8903d/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Evolution is the primary unifying concept of biology
Theory of evolution explains how populations change over time
Natural Selection – mechanism by which evolution proceeds Organisms that possess favorable
adaptations to their environment survive and pass on genes to next generation

Biology is Studied using the Scientific Method Involves a series of ordered steps and is
the framework used by scientists Scientists make careful observations,
ask critical questions, and develop hypotheses
Then, scientists make predictions, test their predictions, interpret results, and draw conclusions
See page 17 (figure 1-16)

Scientific Method
A properly designed experiment includes: a control group and experimental group Only differ with respect to the
variable being studied Must be free of bias!
![Page 24: AP Biology Chapter 1 A View of Life. Biology - the study of life Constantly changing Increasing quality of life Drastically changing health care New discoveries.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062423/5697bf871a28abf838c8903d/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Scientific Method
When a number of related hypotheses have been supported many times, scientists develop a theory A theory is a well researched and
supported scientific statement. A well established and tested theory
may be referred to as a scientific principle
