Biology – The Study of LifeBiology – The Study of Life
Life arose more than 3.5 billion years ago
First organisms (living things) were single celled
Only life on Earth for millions of years
Organisms changed over time (evolved)

Cell Structure and Cell Structure and FunctionFunction
Cell basic unit of life All organisms are
made of and develop from cells
Some composed of only a single cell (unicellular) Virtually identical
to parent
![Page 6: 1 The Science of Life. 2 Biology – The Study of Life Life arose more than 3.5 billion years ago First organisms (living things) were single celled Only.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022070409/56649e745503460f94b74e33/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)

CellsCells Most composed of
many cells (multicellular) Cells are different
(undergo differentiation)
Cells are small Cells are highly
organized

Cells contain specialized structures (organelles) that carry out the cell’s life processes
Many different kinds of cells
All cells surrounded by a membrane
Contain a set of instructions (genetic information)
![Page 8: 1 The Science of Life. 2 Biology – The Study of Life Life arose more than 3.5 billion years ago First organisms (living things) were single celled Only.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022070409/56649e745503460f94b74e33/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)

DNADNA Information in the form
of DNA (Deoxyribonucleic Acid)
DNA contains instructions for traits (genes)
Make the structures and complex chemicals necessary for life
DNA in every body cell (somatic) is exactly alike

Sexual ReproductionSexual Reproduction
Hereditary information from two parts of same organism or two different organisms of the same species are combined
Egg and sperm zygote (fertilized egg)
Zygote contains hereditary information from both parents

Natural SelectionNatural Selection
Natural selection is the driving force in evolution
Organisms that have certain favorable traits are better able to successfully reproduce than organisms that lack these traits
![Page 16: 1 The Science of Life. 2 Biology – The Study of Life Life arose more than 3.5 billion years ago First organisms (living things) were single celled Only.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022070409/56649e745503460f94b74e33/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)

Natural SelectionNatural Selection
Survival of organisms with favorable traits cause a gradual change in populations over many generations
Known as “descent with modification”
![Page 17: 1 The Science of Life. 2 Biology – The Study of Life Life arose more than 3.5 billion years ago First organisms (living things) were single celled Only.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022070409/56649e745503460f94b74e33/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)

Interdependence of Interdependence of OrganismsOrganisms
Interaction of organisms with one another and with their environment (Ecology)
Single species – observing individuals of the species and their interactions with each other and their environment
Multiple species – large ecological studies of environments and communities (ecosystems)
![Page 18: 1 The Science of Life. 2 Biology – The Study of Life Life arose more than 3.5 billion years ago First organisms (living things) were single celled Only.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022070409/56649e745503460f94b74e33/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)

All organisms need substances such as nutrients, water, and gases from the environment
The stability of the environment depends on the healthy functioning of organisms in that environment
![Page 19: 1 The Science of Life. 2 Biology – The Study of Life Life arose more than 3.5 billion years ago First organisms (living things) were single celled Only.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022070409/56649e745503460f94b74e33/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)

Matter, Energy and Matter, Energy and OrganizationOrganization
Living things are highly organized Requires a constant supply of
energy to maintain their orderly state
![Page 20: 1 The Science of Life. 2 Biology – The Study of Life Life arose more than 3.5 billion years ago First organisms (living things) were single celled Only.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022070409/56649e745503460f94b74e33/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)

EnergyEnergy Almost all energy comes from the
sun (directly or indirectly) Photosynthesis is the process by
which some organisms capture the energy from the sun (solar) and transform it into energy (chemical) that can be used by living things
![Page 21: 1 The Science of Life. 2 Biology – The Study of Life Life arose more than 3.5 billion years ago First organisms (living things) were single celled Only.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022070409/56649e745503460f94b74e33/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)

AutotrophsAutotrophs Organisms that make
their own food are called autotrophsPhototrophs – use solar energy (photosynthesis) to get energy Convert H2O and CO2 into sugar and O2
Chemotrophs – use different chemical processes to get energy
![Page 22: 1 The Science of Life. 2 Biology – The Study of Life Life arose more than 3.5 billion years ago First organisms (living things) were single celled Only.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022070409/56649e745503460f94b74e33/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
22
HeterotrophsHeterotrophs Organisms that must take in
food to meet their energy needs are called heterotrophs
Consume autotrophs (herbivores), other heterotrophs (carnivores) or both (omnivores) for their energy needs
Complex chemicals are broken down and reassembled into chemicals and structures needed by organisms
![Page 23: 1 The Science of Life. 2 Biology – The Study of Life Life arose more than 3.5 billion years ago First organisms (living things) were single celled Only.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022070409/56649e745503460f94b74e33/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)

40
Forming a HypothesisForming a Hypothesis Statement is testable if evidence
can be collected that either does or doesn’t support it
Often must be revised if it is NOT supported by the testing data
![Page 41: 1 The Science of Life. 2 Biology – The Study of Life Life arose more than 3.5 billion years ago First organisms (living things) were single celled Only.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022070409/56649e745503460f94b74e33/html5/thumbnails/41.jpg)
41
PredictingPredicting To test hypothesis it is necessary
to make predictions that logically follows from the hypothesis
A statement made in advance that states the results that will be obtained from testing the hypothesis
Often in the form of an “if-then” statement
