The Study of Life
Living things are made of one or more cells.
Cells are the basic unit of structure and function in all living things.
Introduction to Biology
Made of one or more cells

Specialized cells perform particular functions. Ex. Heart pumps blood
Displays Organization
The Study of Life
Living things also display organization, which means they are arranged in an orderly way.
All structures and functions of an organism come together to form an orderly system.

Grows and Develops
The Study of Life
Growth results in the addition of mass to an organism and, in many organisms, the formation of new cells and new structures.
Introduction to Biology
Section 1
Development includes all the changes that an organism undergoes in its lifetime.
![Page 10: Click on a lesson name to select. The Study of Life Section 1: Introduction to Biology Section 2: The Nature of Science Section 3: Methods of Science.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062619/5517f860550346c1568b4eb3/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Reproduces
The Study of Life
A species is a group of organisms that can breed with one another and produce fertile offspring.
Introduction to Biology
Reproduction is not essential for the survival of an individual, but it is essential for the continuation of the species.
Section 1

Responds to Stimuli
The Study of Life
Anything that is part of the internal or external environments and causes a reaction by the organism is called a stimulus.
The reaction to a stimulus is a response.
Introduction to Biology

Requires Energy
The Study of Life
Living things get their energy from food.
Most plants and some unicellular organisms use light energy from the Sun to make their own food and fuel their activities.
Organisms that cannot make their own food get energy by consuming other organisms.

Maintains Homeostasis
The Study of Life
Regulation of an organism’s internal conditions to maintain life is called homeostasis.
If anything happens within or to an organism that affects its normal state, processes to restore the normal state begin. Ex. Heart rate when you exercise.

Adaptations Occur Over Time
Introduction to Biology
The Study of Life
An adaptation is any inherited characteristic that results from changes to a species over time.
Adaptations enable organisms to survive and pass on their genes to the next generation.

What is science?
Science is a body of knowledge based on the study of nature.
The nature, or essential characteristics, of science is scientific inquiry.
The Study of Life
Scientific inquiry is both a creative process and a process rooted in unbiased observations and experimentation.
The Nature of Science
Section 2

Scientific Theory v. Scientific Law
A theory is an explanation of a natural phenomenon supported by many observations and experiments over time.
The Study of Life
A scientific law describes relationships under certain conditions in nature, but does not explain why the relationship is the way it is.

Observing and drawing conclusions
Scientists choose subjects to study and decide what types of data to collect.
The Study of Life
They analyze the data collected to draw conclusions.

Section 2
Pseudosciences imitate science, but do not provide science-based explanations. Ex. If a black cat crosses my path, will I have bad luck?

Undergoes Peer Review
Before it is made public, science-based information is reviewed by scientists’ peers.
The Study of Life
Peer review is a process by which the procedures used during an experiment and the results are evaluated by other scientists who are in the same field or who are conducting similar research.

Science in Everyday Life
A person who is scientifically literate combines a basic understanding of science and its processes with reasoning and thinking skills.
The Nature of Science
The Study of Life
Ethical issues must be addressed by society based on the values it holds important. Ethics are moral issues of what is right & wrong. A current ethical issue is that of stem cell research on embryos.

Why is the metric system preferred by scientists?
Answer: Using the same system ofmeasurements allows a scientist to repeat another’s work knowing that he or she is performing the experiments exactly the same.
