Chapter 2Living things
![Page 2: Chapter 2 Living things. Section 1: What is life (Part 1, pages 34-37) Organism = LIVING THING Examples: yourself, a pet, insects, plants ALL LIVING THINGS.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022072014/56649eb35503460f94bba0d5/html5/thumbnails/2.jpg)
Section 1: What is life (Part 1, pages 34-37)
• Organism = LIVING THING• Examples: yourself, a pet, insects, plants
• ALL LIVING THINGS SHARE THESE CHARACTERISTICS:
1. Cellular organizations2. Contain similar chemicals3. Use energy4. Respond to their surroundings5. Grow and develop6. Reproduce
![Page 3: Chapter 2 Living things. Section 1: What is life (Part 1, pages 34-37) Organism = LIVING THING Examples: yourself, a pet, insects, plants ALL LIVING THINGS.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022072014/56649eb35503460f94bba0d5/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
Cellular Organization• All organisms are made of small building blocks called cells
• A cell is the basic unit of structure and function
• Cells are so small you need a microscope to see them
• Unicellular: single-celled organisms (Bacteria)• Multicellular: composed of many cells that are specialized
to do certain tasks• Example: in our body, muscle and nerve cells (work
together to keep us alive!)

The Chemicals of life• Cells are composed of chemicals
• SUCH AS…• Water (most abundant)• Carbohydrates (energy)• Proteins and lipids/fats (building materials)
• Nucleic acid : genetic materials, chemical instructions that direct the cell’s activities

Energy Use
• Cells of organisms use energy to do what living things must do• Example: Repairing injured parts
• An organisms cells are ALWAYS hard at work
![Page 6: Chapter 2 Living things. Section 1: What is life (Part 1, pages 34-37) Organism = LIVING THING Examples: yourself, a pet, insects, plants ALL LIVING THINGS.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022072014/56649eb35503460f94bba0d5/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Response to surroundings• Plants and all other organisms react to changes in
their environment
• STIMULUS: a change in an organism’s surroundings that causes an organism to react• Example: temperature, light, sound….
• RESPONSE: an action or change in behavior
• Example: A plant stem growing toward the sun. Stimulus?? Response??

Growth and development
• Living things GROW (getting larger) and DEVELOP
• Development: the process of change that occurs during an organisms life to produce more complex organisms

Reproduction
• Organisms have the ability to reproduce, or produce offspring that are similar to the parents
• Example: Robins lay eggs… that develop into young robins… that closely resemble their parents!

Life Comes from life• Living things arise from living things through
reproduction
• ….But, four hundred years ago people believed that life could appear from nonliving things… CRAZY!?!?!
• They called this… SPONTANEOUS GENERATION***the mistake idea that living things can arise from nonliving sources

Redi’s Experiment
• Francesco Redi – Italian doctor (1600’s)
• He designed a CONTROLLED EXPERIMENT to show flies do not arise from decaying meat
• Who remembers what a controlled experiment is???• A scientist carries out 2 tests that are identical in
every respect except for one factor

Redi’s Experiment
• Left jar = UNCOVERED• Right jar = COVERED
• Manipulated Variable?• Whether or not the jar Was covered

Pasteur’s experiment• Louis Pasteur--- French chemist (mid-1800s)
• Some people still did not believe Redi… so Pasteur came up with a new experiment
• His experiment… demonstrated that new bacteria appeared in broth only when they were produced by existing bacteria
• Both experiments convinced people that LIVING THINGS DO NOT ARISE FROM NONLIVING MATERIAL
