Branches of Biology
• Zoology: study of animals
• Botany: study of plants
• Paleontology: study of ancient life
![Page 4: Chapter 1: What is Biology?. What is Biology? »Bio-: means life – ology: Study of Biology is the study of life/living things.](https://reader037.fdocuments.net/reader037/viewer/2022102909/56649edc5503460f94bed756/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
Why Study Biology?• Live longer, healthier lives
• Use evidence to learn about the natural world
• Pleasure of learning
• Understanding the “web of life” (all organisms are connected to each other)
• Understand/control our future– Why things happen and what could happen in
the future

Themes in Biology
• Flow of energy through systems
– Cell Organism Biosphere
– Powers all life processes
• Interaction of systems
– Interacting with the environment
• Unity within diversity
![Page 6: Chapter 1: What is Biology?. What is Biology? »Bio-: means life – ology: Study of Biology is the study of life/living things.](https://reader037.fdocuments.net/reader037/viewer/2022102909/56649edc5503460f94bed756/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Themes in Biology• Homeostasis: regulation
of an organism’s internal environment to maintain survival
• Evolution: gradual change in a species through adaptations over time
• Biology is always expanding and changing the field of study
![Page 7: Chapter 1: What is Biology?. What is Biology? »Bio-: means life – ology: Study of Biology is the study of life/living things.](https://reader037.fdocuments.net/reader037/viewer/2022102909/56649edc5503460f94bed756/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Characteristics of All Living Things
1. Made up of cells
– Unicellular (made of one cell) vs. multicellular (made up of many cells)
![Page 8: Chapter 1: What is Biology?. What is Biology? »Bio-: means life – ology: Study of Biology is the study of life/living things.](https://reader037.fdocuments.net/reader037/viewer/2022102909/56649edc5503460f94bed756/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
2. Highly organized
3. Use energy– Ex: metabolism
Building chemical substances
Energy required Energy released
Breaking down chemical substances
![Page 9: Chapter 1: What is Biology?. What is Biology? »Bio-: means life – ology: Study of Biology is the study of life/living things.](https://reader037.fdocuments.net/reader037/viewer/2022102909/56649edc5503460f94bed756/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
4. Growth and Development
• Growth: increase in the amount of material (size) and the formation of new structures
• Development: all of the changes that take place during an organism’s lifespan
![Page 10: Chapter 1: What is Biology?. What is Biology? »Bio-: means life – ology: Study of Biology is the study of life/living things.](https://reader037.fdocuments.net/reader037/viewer/2022102909/56649edc5503460f94bed756/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
5. Have a life span
6. Reproduction: sexual vs. asexual– Needed for the survival of a species– Most multicellular species reproduce
sexually
7. Respond to a stimulus (ex: blink/flinch when something is thrown at you)
8. Adaptations: evolution– Variation of traits that are inherited
9. Maintain homeostasis: internal balance

– Carbon, Hydrogen, Oxygen, Nitrogen, Sulfur, and Phosphorus
• Organelles and cells
– Organelles are mini “organs” found in every cell

The Scientific Method:
• http://dsc.discovery.com/tv-shows/mythbusters/videos/surreal-gourmet-hour.htm
![Page 22: Chapter 1: What is Biology?. What is Biology? »Bio-: means life – ology: Study of Biology is the study of life/living things.](https://reader037.fdocuments.net/reader037/viewer/2022102909/56649edc5503460f94bed756/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Scientific Method• common steps used to gather information
and answer questions (8 steps)1. make observations: use your senses2. state the problem3. gather information 4. make a hypothesis: an explanation for a
question or a problem that can be tested– has to be able to be tested can be
disproved– is not a guess or a fact (sometimes
cannot be 100% proven accurate)
![Page 23: Chapter 1: What is Biology?. What is Biology? »Bio-: means life – ology: Study of Biology is the study of life/living things.](https://reader037.fdocuments.net/reader037/viewer/2022102909/56649edc5503460f94bed756/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
5. test the hypothesis through an experiment: procedure that tests a hypothesis by collecting information under controlled conditions
6. collect and gather data: information obtained from the experiment
7. draw a conclusion: was the hypothesis correct or incorrect?
8. publish results in scientific journals– allows other scientists to repeat
experiment– Ex: Redi’s and Pasteur’s experiments
(disproved spontaneous generation)
![Page 24: Chapter 1: What is Biology?. What is Biology? »Bio-: means life – ology: Study of Biology is the study of life/living things.](https://reader037.fdocuments.net/reader037/viewer/2022102909/56649edc5503460f94bed756/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Theory• Well-supported hypothesis
• Well-tested explanation
• Can be revised or replaced by another theory
![Page 25: Chapter 1: What is Biology?. What is Biology? »Bio-: means life – ology: Study of Biology is the study of life/living things.](https://reader037.fdocuments.net/reader037/viewer/2022102909/56649edc5503460f94bed756/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Controlled Experiments• involve two groups: control group
and experimental group
• control: standard by which all conditions are kept the same
![Page 26: Chapter 1: What is Biology?. What is Biology? »Bio-: means life – ology: Study of Biology is the study of life/living things.](https://reader037.fdocuments.net/reader037/viewer/2022102909/56649edc5503460f94bed756/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
• experimental group: the test group in which all conditions are kept the same except for the single condition being tested
–only one condition is changed at a time
–independent variable: what is being changed (manipulated variable)
• affects the outcome of the experiment
![Page 27: Chapter 1: What is Biology?. What is Biology? »Bio-: means life – ology: Study of Biology is the study of life/living things.](https://reader037.fdocuments.net/reader037/viewer/2022102909/56649edc5503460f94bed756/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
• dependent variable: results from the change of the independent variable (responding variable)
–changes to it depend on changes made to the independent variable
• Not all experiments are controlled (ex: field studies)
![Page 28: Chapter 1: What is Biology?. What is Biology? »Bio-: means life – ology: Study of Biology is the study of life/living things.](https://reader037.fdocuments.net/reader037/viewer/2022102909/56649edc5503460f94bed756/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
Qualitative Data• Using the senses to describe
observations and gather information
• What you see, smell, taste, touch…etc.
• Describe using words
![Page 29: Chapter 1: What is Biology?. What is Biology? »Bio-: means life – ology: Study of Biology is the study of life/living things.](https://reader037.fdocuments.net/reader037/viewer/2022102909/56649edc5503460f94bed756/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
Quantitative Data• Experiments yield
numerical data• System of measurement
(SI): metric system– Base units:
• length meters (m)• mass grams (g)• volume liters (L)• time seconds (s)• temp °C
– Based on multiples of 10
• Prefixes: – kilo (1000)– hecto (100)– deca (10)– deci (0.1 or 1/10)– centi (0.01 or 1/100)– milli (0.001 or 1/1000)
![Page 30: Chapter 1: What is Biology?. What is Biology? »Bio-: means life – ology: Study of Biology is the study of life/living things.](https://reader037.fdocuments.net/reader037/viewer/2022102909/56649edc5503460f94bed756/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
Science and Society• Knowledge gained through research is
never good or bad• Attempts to explain how and why things
happen• Science is objective: can be tested and
measured• Society is dealing with the subjective
–Social, moral, and ethical concerns (right vs. wrong)
![Page 31: Chapter 1: What is Biology?. What is Biology? »Bio-: means life – ology: Study of Biology is the study of life/living things.](https://reader037.fdocuments.net/reader037/viewer/2022102909/56649edc5503460f94bed756/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
• Pure science
–Gaining knowledge through discovery
• Applied science
–Technology that applies knowledge to fit society’s needs and problems
–Involves making improvements in human life
![Page 32: Chapter 1: What is Biology?. What is Biology? »Bio-: means life – ology: Study of Biology is the study of life/living things.](https://reader037.fdocuments.net/reader037/viewer/2022102909/56649edc5503460f94bed756/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
• Inductive reasoning–Reasoning about something from a
set of facts–Start with a specific statement or
fact make a general statement• Deductive reasoning
–Suggesting something from a set of facts or general rules
–Start with a general rule or fact make a specific statement from that general rule
